To be honest, u really don't have enough supporting mods to get an evo 16g. You will need a 1g bov, or something else. Atleast a fuel pump rewire, if not a 190 or bigger. With stock injectors, u might be able to run around 13-14psi. It's different on every car, but seems how u didnt say that u had a logger, or boost gauge, or egt, it's kinda risky. Automatics are usually alot harder to get into 12's with.
I didnt include the obvious necessities (boost guage, logger, bov), I will have them except for an EGT guage.
Automatics aren't that much slower. Brake boost off the line, computer shifts at redline at WOT.
I expected to run 15-16 psi on stock injectors with pump. A bone stock VR-4 can handle up to 15psi with just 360cc injectors on pump gas, I expected a Talon with 450cc's should max out a little bit more on pump.
Handle 15 on stock turbo.........15psi on a 13g isnt the same as 15psi on an evo 16g. That's soo much of a change in cfm there. Probably more than a hundred cfm. Therefore it requires more fuel. I don't understand why u asked this question. People are just gonna flame u for asking a "how much boost can i run" question. If u have a logger, than look at that for timing and fuel trims, not to mention injector flow. That will tell u exactly how much boost u can run without maxing out ur injectors.

They both have different turbos and the difference is much more than just the compressor wheel. Also, if you didn't know, the stock TD04-9bs drop off to 10-11PSI from 5K to redline regardless of boost pressure in the lower RPMS.
