How much boost pressure can a built VQ37VHR withstand?

You also need to keep in mind that traction is a major issue on our cars, and the increased torque makes breaking parts in your drivetrain much easier. If you're building a dyno queen you'll be fine but anything you plan to race requires serious consideration in terms of traction and strength.
What would you recommend upgrading for the drivetrain? Eg. Clutch (which brand is best suited for high torque spikes), driveshaft, differential (I plan on an OS giken, but any suggestions?), gearbox, etc.

Thanks!
