Ordered my D1SC today 
this will be my first time with FI, and i'm fairly excited. The car is going to be a long and costly project, so I figure I'll get the most expensive stuff out of the way first!

obviously i'd have to think about beefing up the internals if i wanted to go higher than that. What boost were you running when you blew your motor?

Get a good custom tune and run good gas. You should be fine for a while.
Just be prepared for the worst case scenario.

Easily handle 8 lbs? I don't know if I'd call it easy :p I say under 6 lbs is relatively pain free. Above that and you're not in the "danger zone" but you definitely have to be careful. Are you gonna get edit?
