i think you'd be wasting your money personally to be safe on 7psi you should be fine might wanna do some upgraded fuel pump injectors etc.
IMO swap it.. less cool factor but way more stable |

I wouldn't say it would be a waste of money. You will get a much better timeslip, but your reliability will go way down. If you plan on putting more money into it in the future, a swap is a better option.
Look for Greddy and Revhard, they both come with complete kits that will leave you street legal.

you could run 8psi w/ decent tuning no probs. might yield something like a high 14.

that motor isnt gonna last too long boosted.. i say do a mini-me swap while ur under the hood and also turbo it if u got the funds... you get the best of both worlds right there..

on a dx its not worth. the engine is different from those of a ex. just save the money and then swap. in the future boost it!
