Default how much boost before water/meth or intercooler needed?

As some of you know I am doing the ebay turbo set up on my vette. What do you guys think of running boost with no water/meth or no intercooler? This is kinda the build I am going off of and as you can see they did not run water/meth of intercooler. Got almost 500hp on pump gas 91 octane. And lets say max boost on pump is 13 lbs how much more could I get away with? 20lbs safe? Car will be on a dyno and I am also going to keep an eye on ait's

here is the link. http://www.carcraft.com/techarticles..._block_engine/

Actually I CAN'T see.


I believe the amount of boost you can run will greatly depend on your engines characteristics.
