I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

i wouldnt go that far , ,,,as u have to think this way , depending on a turbo setup , some cars can make 600bhp at 25psi while others can make 400/450 at 25psi , due to turbo lagg/spool/ manifold, mapping, timing,fueling,spark advange etc
 im going to attempt 27psi today so its either happy days , or the the engine will blow ,, either way im going to try it ,(christmass fun)i think it may possible blow ,, , as at the end of the day ive had a fun building it , and had fun blowing it up , (nothing like trying for extreme limits ,,i reckon , providing how things go ,ill see if i can have a steady mpg drive down lmao ,
