I've managed to get the compression ratio on my engine down to 8.1 and have uprated the diff so wondering just how far I can push the boost before I risk destroying the engine?

What Turbo ? Intercooler, what ignition ? What pistons ?
A little more detail will help.

Standard turbo pistons and turbo but Avonbar adjustable wastegate actuator. Ignition is megajolt and I've got an alloy R5 intercooler. The diff is a minispares 4 pin. Head is fully ported with chambers enlarged

Intercooler will blow apart long before the engine will be troubled as long as it's tuned correctly.

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

Thanks lads. I've got a wideband AFR sensor and gauge and will be taking it off to a rolling road once its got some miles on it so hopefully I wont total it. Think I'll stick to 15psi max to be safe
