It depends on what all you have done to your car, and how long you want it to last. Is it bone stock? Do you have an ECU, Downpipe, Cat-back?

If its stock, I'd be conservative and keep it around 12-13.
If you have some mods, you can boost more safely, maybe up to 15-16.

Take it slow when setting it up, get a boost gauge so you can read it in PSI rather than the stock gauge.

Go over to Volvospeed.com and search on MBC's, there are a few discussions over there that may be enlightening.
