Cool.
If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

So to conclude, in theory a 180/200hp 5port turbo should last the day of abuse at the track?

The DON revs to 9200rpm, and hasn't done itself any damage to the crank/rods/bearings. lol. |

OI! I'm not having that! If Carl (a) had his way and (b) knew how to do it on the software for the ECU, he would have RAISED yes RAISED the rev limiter on the DON ages ago. In fact he really wanted to turn it off! Seriously!

You should have seen Dave Walkers face when I took it to be mapped, he asked what the rev limit was, I phoned Carl, and then told Dave it was 9k! its true, , |

In actual fact I've just remembered that I have reset the ECU telltale from 9600rpm before now- at a guess burning out and clattering it off the limiter and the ECU didn't catch it in time? Anyway 10k beckons, maybe at the end of a season eh Carl!

Lets face it though, the Don doesn't run your average spec does it - so its not surprising that its lasted as its been developed and built properly to do exactly what it does.

So to conclude, in theory a 180/200hp Jim, do you think yours has managed better due to the efi to control things alot tighter. Rick I think it has helped, but I never had problems running 18psi on a 5 port either, I only went 16v as me old head went porous On 15th May, 2009 TurboDave said:
