16v w/ turbo



Right off hand I'd say you probably won't be able to run that much boost for very long without having and engine built for it.
i.e forged, lower CR pistons, piston oil squirters, steel head gasket, a cooling system in good condition, a really effective intercooler and some careful assembly. Not to mention well tuned engine management.
