The little hx35 is a tough charger and will take some abuse. 36psi is just about out of the map, but in short bursts will not be detrimental to the charger, imo. I was teaching the Mrs. to do a 3rd gear boosted burnout in the driveway with the new dd clutch. She built 25psi at a standstill, about 3k rpms then stalled the engine That shaft shoulda snapped, but radial play was still in spec when I pulled it for the vgt

Ya, I got the clutch specifically for play time, and it is fun I've broken everything downwind of said clutch, but it is fun. When she grabs traction about 100 yards out at 3500rpms....wheeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!
