is 19-21psi safe for a K03 turbo? I was peaking at 15 before my n75h, now i'm peaking at 17, but i thought 20 was the most you're supposed to squeeze out of the k03. just a question.

Wutever floats ur boat man, or, in ur case, bathtub.

I converted to a white cluster and HU, my Bernt gauges are red, so it's just white and red now.
