jeff from mlc is pushing 16.5 or 19.5 psi..i forgot which one 
im thinking it's 16.5..but either way it's up there. he has his engine bored to a 2.5L engine with drag pistons and rods in. yea, true fun there.

If I can find a solution to my fuel problem, expect relatively high boost from me in the spring/summer.
Running 20psi would probably take less engine work than you think. Decompress to 9.0:1, forged pistons and connecting rods, possible knife edged crank (dunno if that's necessary, but I believe it probably would be at that level), a P&P on the head and a new valve train. Viola! Basically as long as there's fuel, there is boost. Obviously you'd need a new clutch. And you may run into problems with exploding axels at some point along the line, but nobody really knows right now. At any rate, I plan on running around 1 bar daily when I get my car back together and get to the root of my fuel delivery problem.

Clutch and pressure plate w/ TO bearing and alignment were $425 shipped. Labor from BM Tranny was something like $250-$275 if I remember correctly. Took about 2 hours and it would have gone faster if the day wasn't so busy and Keith wasn't such a bum. (j/p) It was only the second Lancer clutch they'd replaced and disconnecting the axel from the suspension took a bit of time and effort. It's an install I could definitely do myself, but wouldn't advise unless you can get your car a good bit off the ground. You definitely need room to work.
Anyway, I'm glad I did it then even if the clutch was a bit of overkill (it's still fine daily driving, just a bit crunchy on low RPM launches) because it's only less thing I'll have to worry about as I continue to build my car. ...Or one more thing with my luck.
