i just recived a b16g today to replace my blown t25. i was wondering if it was ok to drive it with the stock feul system as long as i do not spool the turbo? (i need to go to and from school/work)
 
I would say just to be safe 10-12psi. Get a logger start low, then bump it up untill you get a little knock. Then go back just enough to get rid of it. You should beable to get about 14psi with no knock but all cars are different. Also get rid of the 2g bov and through a
1g bov on because the stocker will boost leak at around 15psi.

I would recommend that you keep the boost levels on the low side (8psi to 10psi) until you upgrade the appropriate parts. You should also take the time to break-in the turbo, and not just "romp on it" as soon as it is installed. I would personally not go over 8psi for about the first 500 to 1000 miles.

EDIT: JayRolla beat me to it.
