If I were to turbocharge a naturally aspirated MG lump, how much boost do you reckon it would run? It doesn't matter if it pops as its a trial. So far I have got 4 psi going through mine using an intercooler and was just curious as too how much it could get.

The thing with the normally aspirated MG engine is it runs a 10.5-1 compression ratio, this is going to limit how much boost you can run more than any other factor.
A well built Turbo motor with decent cam, head & intercooler + 10spi will put you around the 130hp mark.
