Safety first..., What boost to set it at? Options

[DSM5]

MY car is stock when it comes to fuel mods. So what would be a safe setting for my new MBC? I was thinking around 14psi.

when i am putting 300+HP i will probably upgrade to a MAFT but you can find SAFC's for cheap from anywhere, they are easy to install, and are very user friendly.

if you want to vent your BOV to atmosphere or are turning out very high HP number you might want to go with a GM 3"-3.5" MAF to clear restritions but an SAFC and a hacked MAF is a good place to start with when your uping boost on a stock turbo IMO.

Not sure I agree there. MAFT's can be had used for $150. Same price as an SAFC. The GM MAS can be had cheaply from a junkyard too. Even 14B's tend to spool up a couple of hundred rpm sooner.

Overall, install is MUCH easier for the translator than the SAFC. I don't know of anyone that ever gone back to an SAFC or hadn't made more power/better times with the translator.

And yes, you don't HAVE to remove the restriction of the 1G mas. But you also don't have to port things out to reduce restriction either. Both offer good and easy gains though.
