When you do the instalation you need to be cautious. Only a slight turn at a time which is about 1 lb. This will ensure you stay around the 10 lbs. rather than going up higher than that and causing you to melt a piston. 10lb's of unintercooled boost is fine. 12+ you are pushing your luck. Remember when you up the boost you prolly should run higher octane gas to keep from detonation.

When you do put it on, make sure you're starting with it unscrewed as far as possible (without falling apart) and go from there.
