be interested to see the results of this actually,

to be quite honest, there's alot these days that needs re testing and re clarifying, lots of stuff was thrown about and assumptions made back in the day, for stuff that was tested and tried and failed or broken etc

lots more info is widely available now then previous, and tuners and consumers know much more now then a few years ago, the advances made in mapping and engine management now is massively impacted all areas of engines and how they work

for exmaple, ppl say you cant turbo a non turbo car with out forged internals, and even those that can wont last long on 8psi and under

i know my car for one will die eventually, but for now im running 15psi and have been for abut 3 months, for 3-4 months before that i was running 10psi, im waiting it to blow up now lol, but for now its soldiering on, its had alot of hard driving, and untill last week was a daily driver aswell

jungle is running standard compression on his rallye turbo, he runs between 1.2 and 1.4 bar on his engine and has done for a long time

there are lots of other scenarios like this, ive yet to hear of a dp or atspeed on decomp engine that has died??

ppl need to get off the chinese whispers and try stuff, if ppl didnt try stuff back in the day tuning wouldnt be where it is now...
