Does anyone know how high you can boost running propane on stock turbos?

What do you all think of the Blitz ID boost controller?

I dont think the stock turbos can take more than 14 lbs of boost. I may be wrong. The other problem is the fuel system. Propane will help but the stock fuel system doesn't allow much more.

I was trying to see if I can boost at least three more pounds with the boost controller set at 14 PSI without the upgrades but i definitely want to run propane when I do get them.

the stock turbos can be made to "spike" well past 15psi, BUT thy will not hold that boost for long... by red line you will be down to 8-9psi

Cool! I've gotten used to the fact that there is no shortcuts so I will continue to upgrade until I can eventually boost higher.

I am enjoying my boost controller and downpipe, made a huge difference! What can I go with next that can have that same effect? Recommendations anyone?

Is that with the mods I have now or will I have to add anything else?
