up to about 14psi can be run without cooler if setup is right (turbo size, compression, etc), higher boost can be run with a larger turbo as it runs cooler. 10 psi is the generally accepted norm, best to get it dynoed though

good luck vls are so old now, its almost to the point where if you see a good one you should buy it, just budget money for a gearbox swap, up to $1500 should cover it
