Hey guys, I'm running 8.5 Boost on my stock Turbo with the factory POV. Will I hurt anything running this combo temporarily until I install my IC and BOV?

No you wont hurt anything. You are fine. I would say once you go past 10-12 psi is when you need have the IC. Also at that point you should start thinking about upgrading your fuel system.85 Z31 6.0 LSX turbo 766whp/792wtq

only reason Wassman has one is because our MR2 driving friend was checking out his conversion at In-n-Out and was like, wtf, turbo with no intercooler? fuck that, I got a topmount with fan and everything, even a fuckload of piping, let's slap that bitch on!!!

what's the warm climate have to do with it. Wouldn't a cooler climate help stave off detonation?

Nope you wont hurt anything-- well only a couple o ricers along the way, my first time i cranked up the boost my POV opened at 10 psi (which was scary) then i ran 10-14 psi with no intercooler for about a year and no problems (also wird and scary!!!! finaly installed my FMIC now running a conservative 10 psi- enough power to keep the famous black z beating every one here in Rosarito MX
As i walk thru the valley of rice, i fear no Honda, cause boost is with me.....
