2 bar and you bend rods. I ran around at 18psi for 3 months, putting 150miles/day with no issues. 18psi because I was spraying methanol, and I had a different turbo on it.



Cruzer-A real NOS pump should be worth a couple hundred, assuming it's not actually a cleaned junkyard pump with caps on it. a JY pump usually goes for ~$60
