High boost with stock downpipe, how retarded am i?
I've got pretty much everything required to run big boost sitting in my garage. The only thing i don't have is a downpipe, and my budget is running thin. I can weld and MIGHT be able to fab one, but if i fail, is there any danger to running 15+ pounds on the stock pipe besides taking all day to spool?

On my Talon I ran 26psi through the stock exhaust with a gutted cat. It doesn't blow head gaskets, it's just somewhat counter productive. I was trying to get the best quarter mile time I possibly could one night with what I had, but in general turning up the boost before optimizing your exhaust is *** backwards. I'd also upgraded the turbo with one I had laying around, which once again is *** backwards on a stock exhaust. But it was a fun time.
