You should be fine, just try not to boost alot and drive very very carfully.

just keep an eye on your temp...im not sure the temp, id say around 250*, if its starts gettin hotter then that i would stop runnin for a while.

The temp is to way to hot if your not stock. if you arechipped, take a strait T peice and bypass the n75 so you run off just the wastegate (5psi).

No please tell me? If he runs with to much heat, he will have huge iat's and pull crap loads of timing and possibly damage his engine if the boost is to high. There is reasons why people that run non ic kits run really low boost
