Define stock. Is it still stock if you put in bigger injectors add an FMU, add an adustable fuel pressure regulator? There is no real answer. There are way too many other factors to consider. For starters if you are not running a safe AFR it could blow at any boost level.

I remember you saying you bought the car for 800. So if you are looking for a cheap car then you got it. But if you bought an 800 dollar then I doubt you have alot of money. A good performing and reliable turbo kit is going to cost you money and there will be times when your car is down. I could be wrong but it does not seem like that is something you want to deal with now. Besides how much do you really want to put into an 800 dollar car. If you ask me you would be better off saving your money and buying a another car. I am not trying to bash you. There is nothing wrong with buying a cheap car so just enjoy it as that. You are just going to wind up shooting yourself in the foot trying to make it something it is not.

the only reason it was 800 was bcuz the guy buy a newer car...and wanted to get rid of it asap....and i was the first one to offer 800... so far i did the custom cold air ntake and the muffler and tip and i relocated the air senser to the front of my car... as i read in the library of performance on here... just want my car to go faster than what it is now.... with what i have done to my car now i can beat probes and geos lol haha, some hondas,auto cavalier,and a chevy 1500 truck

Now to awnser your post here is no real number, as others have said it depends on so much more then just boost pressure. Like all of us read up on it and go from there.

I've heard of running 8psi on the stock LN2. Past that you will need bigger injectors among other things.

you need bigger injectors for boost period.... now not to be a dick head or anything but before this post continues to fill this guys head with wrong info lol just check out the faqs or search your question.

Running boost on a vehicle isn't a walk in the park. so many factors besides fueling. just read through the post.

Searching will yield an average of 6psi max and one post stating 8psi. I looked through them when considering what to do on my setup. The LN2 has very small injectors stock, so it should be recommended to change them out either way, but it is possible to run up to 8 stock.

You do NOT want to try running 8# on an FMU lol.
Stock internals are good for 250+whp if the motor is in decent condition, just add fuel and take away timing as needed.

Well yea, not with an FMU, it needs to be dyno-tuned.

The only method for "dyno-tuning" fuel with stock injectors is an FMU...

i was maxing my injectors on my LN2 when all i had was an intake/catback + HPTuned. I was well over 100% IDC.

you will need to upgrade them.

#30 injectors should do fine for an intercooled 8-11psi set up. If you want to play it safe you could run 4-6 psi with 24# injectors. Its just depends what your looking for if its your daily driver and you put a lot of miles on it and intend on having your foot in it non stop id definetly run the lower boost and have it for slight performance and the "WOW" factor.
Just my 2 cents.
