i heard a stock gemini engine shouldnt be run on more than 6psi
this is stock mind you
put a decomp plate or do some head work or put a bigger heaad on you could run more from what ive heard

Remember though any engine can take huge amounts of boost, say 20psi, even stock. It all depends on the size of the turbo. A little turbo at 20psi may only push in as much air as a big muther turbo that is running at 6psi. The damage from high boost occurs due to the amount of extra air, and its resulting consequences.

it all comes down to how well the car is tuned. the better its tuned, the more boost u can run.
