Default Safe Boost Level for 30v with SC

Does anyone know what pound range of boost is safe to run on a 2.8 with a blower, for every day driving? I am thinking of putting a smaller pulley on when I install my G2. Just curious if anyone has had trouble w/too much boost.
Thanks, I'll also try this post on the forced induction forum.

It depends on what you call "safe". scaudi.com for answers.

From what I've heard from people with SC's, it's around 12psi. I'd find a more reliable source though in case I'm wrong.

Mark,

Well, it's definitely not 12. For default pulley size it's about 8PSI. Do a search on scaudi.com for people reporting issues with smaller pulleys, you should stick with the stock pulley for the time being. It's too much of a risk, without proper software compensation and an intercooler.

I would say 4Rings had some trouble with too much boost.
