I read a post a while back on NZMMC with regards to how much boost everyone runs, the most common range on there was 12-15 psi but I was quite supprised at how many mitsi's were running 18 plus psi!!
So I though I'd post this on a number of different car manufacures forums and gauge a feel from a brands side of things. So Mitsubishi, Toyota, Nissan, and Subaru.
