Now would someone tell me whether boost pressure and cylinder pressures are linked because I thought they where but mark_airy seemed to imply that they were not. Not to be funny or anything, but these things are kind of important to know :roll: Just incase certain people think I am getting a power trip from asking reasonable questions :? Not saying they would because that would be really paranoid of them, but just incase 8-)
Care to point out where I said this instead of slandering my name (sort of, but since there is nobody on here with the user name you mention I guess you mean me)
more to the point, you didn't say anything, therefore leaving me to rely on my best guess as to what you were getting at so don't you dare have a go at me for 'slandering' your name :evil: Read the following posts for 'evidence:

Ignore this.........
Dan! Wrote:People run 40+psi on TMIC's no problem and although performance wont quite be as good as a FMIC, it wont be far off. The problem comes with long term power, if you are driving hard for more than a few minutes the power will drop considerably and you will also need to keep your eye on engine temps as they will climb much faster on TMIC.
IMO a VERY safe boost to run on TMIC, worry free would be ~18/19psi. Any higher and you will just need to be sensible and have some mechanical sympathy.
Listen to this
Dan! Wrote:Flynn Wrote:Okay then smart guy what causes headgaskets to blow and rods to chuck then? Obviously raising the psi does because that makes the overall compression ratio higher which strains those components more. I really want to smack you sometimes :x
Lol, you have no idea at all do you
Yeah I know it was Dan! but he is your cohort and you did say to ignore my airing-on-the-side-of-caution advice.
