88 and 89, yeah. 87's are really cool because it is the w series engines with the better T3 turbo. Bad part is the cars are more than 300 pounds heavier than 84's
I wanna know about how much horsepower I can expect from each PSI I add to the engine
you can expect 12-15...and 15 is being generous...that is of course assuming you've got a motor in good condition and you don't have stock intake and exhaust...

ive got an 87 what do you guys think is the highest boost i can safely run in everyday driving, and if the turbo heats up it will be on my guage right.

Nope , by the time the guages read any heat problems , it's already too late. I'd say you can run at least 10 psi with no issues.

As always I will chime in with 8psi but you don't have to listen to me or the majority of the performance world when we say 8psi is the safe everyday limit when not intercooled.
Im running 11- 12 everyday and I havent ever had any problems. I live in SW Fl too and its hot as hell here. This weekend I was going to try to run my hardpipes and intercooler, but Im still debating doing an aquamist instead of an intercooler. Balliztik made me a little paranoid of the top mount thing I was planning and I would really like to retain a/c ( whenever I get off my ass and send Eric money...........inside joke

i suppose it wouldn't be a problem... but i do know 12.5 is the limit for stock computer and injectors...
I ran a flat 15 psi for over 6 months with absolutely no issues. I don't recommend doing it for long distances , as I've stated before , but it seems as though the stated limits have been purposely kept low. The ECU didn't seem to mind the extra airflow , neither did the turbo. I'll be exploring the limits of the stock equipment later on , I think it's about time we got some real numbers on these cars true capabilities. My 13.9 was run on a severe budget and ghetto mods , I don't doubt with a little money spent in the right areas the car can hit mid-low 12s without ever touching the ECU or the turbo......
