Re: Too good to be true?

Gonna take a lot of timing retard or higher octane fuel. Dynamic compression ratio will be high, but fuck, some people run 16-17psi on our stock 9.5:1 compression ratio KAs.... So 8-10psi is reasonable with good charge cooling. Maybe even more if you use water injection...

And it doesn't require "better" tuning... Saying that is basically saying that with lower compression ratio, you don't need to put effort into tuning car. Which is BS.

Biggest thing on this setup as opposed to other setups is how much timing retard is needed....

Reliability won't go down....but the engine will require more frequent/in depth matinence...just like any turbo car...
