Safe amount of boost

Just wondering if someone can help me out.
Got a GT4, engine wise itz relatively stock. When it was imported was informed it had a full thru exhuast, but when i got it checked out to my disappointment it only had a muffler (Fucken Liars  ). Still got stock cooler,turbo, etc. All its got ATM in engine bay is a HKS pod. It has a Blitz boost controller n just wondering wot the most safe amount of boost to run would be. Currently running 10psi.
Thanx alot.

no more than 15 dude - jdm = ceramic turbo
its just a word of mouth safety thing to keep it under this incase they start to delaminate the ceramic coating
you wont need to run any more than 10 - 12 anyway for the time being - focus on getting your exhaust right - and definanatly look at removing and changing to a frontmount setup . They are now the first two things id be advising to look at if you want a little go .
Then , maye when you have some playcash = get your ct26 upgraded and highflowed with steel wheels , or look at something aftermarket..
( of course aftermarket ecu will ultimately help you get more go too - pop in on the gt4 dedicated thread - theres tonnes of info being gathered in there if you wanna gave a good read

thanx man,
yea next pay check gonna be gettin an exhuast,shame tho, thought it already had one, was saving for a front mount. Gonna hve to wait a lil for that now.
As for turbo, my mates got a spare high flowed t28 sitting in his garage for his 180,but didnt end up using it.once i get some cash gonna pick that up.
meant to be a mad turbo.pricks running jst under 200kw, my aim is to thrash him. 
thanx again dude

t28 will be nice to see - just remember there might be a few steps you wanna look at like head gasket strengthening , forgies etc etc before trying to crank up to those power levels ..
once again - jump on the gt4 thread , and youll find out alot more in one hit , for what you might wanna look at!
