Default InlinePro Turbo, help.....

I emailed inlinepro about their turbo for our cars and asked them how much boost we could run with the kit on stock internals, and they replied to me saying that we could run up to 18-20 lbs on stock internals? Is that possible? They say at that much psi, the car will be putti nout 450 hp or soo....Can the motor handle this? How come other turbo kits only run 5-8 lbs? And this kit runs all the way to 20 lbs safetly on stock internals?

There are reasons that I don't trust the competency of their engineering. I'm willing to bet that they'll suggest that you run a thicker head gasket to lower compression ratio. While this can work, this is not the best approach and there are risks to taking this approach. If you want to run that much boost you'd really want to build the bottom end to have a real chance at long term reliability. Also consider what 450rwhp will do to the drivetrain. No head gasket will help a drive train support 2x the load it was designed to.

What if say I would be happy with their kit at 6-7 psi resulting in ~300 rwhp, then would it be pretty safe in the long run? Considering proper tuning via AEM EMS.
