really depends on the turbo. think the mr turbo's needed a lot more boost to run same numbers as newer kits. the pistons are good till about 350, rods about 300, others have gotten more, but these are the typical accepted numbers most stick too. 10psi is about the limit on stock compression if you have a really nicely designed turbo (like ghetto...), but this is a little pushing it. most will put on the spacer at 8+ psi or an intercooler or water inj. some do a combo os those as well. 6-8 psi is what i am currently looking for on my setup (homemade) and shooting for mid 200's.
good luck.
ps, after making my kit, i can understand why most people say to just buy a kit....there is a LOT of work that you wouldn't really think about in the process. i studied many peoples kits, both homemade and bought. the way tey installed, what they used...and so forth. LOTS of work. that being said though, i wish more people would...kinda catch 22 i guess. i am sure you will enjoy it either way ya go.
