You can say that again. I've got four Field Engineers, an Operations Manager, Country Manager, and a Salesman in Perth that do things a litle unorthidox. Where exactly are you at Mick? I come to Perth about once every 3-4 months.

Ya, that DP. I'm not a contributer there so I just don't bother. It's all good.

Ya, I'm aware of the boost issue. Thing is, boost is fuel dependent. No fuel, not boost. We are actually capping the boost at 60 for the moment. Hits 60psi once the turbo really spools. As far as the block goes, we are already pushing well past what others have mentioned as max. Nothing but a thing, we need to know OUR limits, time will be the factor for sure. Thanks for the interest, we'll keep you posted.

If you're into EFI logs, I have a few that show me lighting them at 75 as well.

Just one big turbo is all that it will take for 65, now the sc / turbo compound will make a mess....
