This is what happens to us 420a guys. Try running 17psi on stock internals.
This is my friend Tony's car he mainly did it for an excuse to get his fiance to let him takeout the funds for a full rebuilt motor
He now has a built block. He already had a spare block with wiseco pistons and eagle hbeam rods. A new head also and he already had the turbo kit parts his total build for block and turbo setup was under 3k and he is now running 20psi daily.
Wasn't the fastest 420a Eclipse on stock internals running 26 lbs and in the 12's. Pretty sure it was laying down around 400ish hp. He then built the bottom end and pushed it a little further. Its all the rage over on dsmtuners in the NA section.

It really depends on how healthy the block is if it has perfect compression and good rings ect. With a good tune you can run 20psi stock block without blowing anything. But alot of these guys do not know how to tune or just use an apexi neo and think that is good enough fuel management and start blowing stuff up. Just like any other motor a good tuner can make the world difference on a NA turbo block.
