If you're gonna go blow through, do it right. It can be annoying.

12-15psi on the stock turbo is safe on the stock MAF with some JB weld, I popped them anything over that, and my holset raped them. lol

JB weld does not bond to the plastic very good. Like i said use silicone adhesive. I have pressure tested mine to 30psi and never had it blow off and i boost 12psi from my holset daily.

I've tried silicone, I used it on my Z32 MAF on the holset setup and it didn't do shit.

I had waaaaaaay better luck sanding the Z32 cap roughly then using JB weld. JB weld bonds to plastic incredibly well, I've never heard anyone say that. lol

I never blew the cap on my Z32 MAF with JB, I spent more time prepping it and used clamps as well though.
