    pushing a td04 aggressively on pump gas...not such a smart idea. save the $ and use it towards gas or track time y0

    thanks for your honesty..! now that that is settled, I want to start a engine build again since I had to sell my last one due to getting laid off. What shortblock and coponents could you suggest for a strong say, 400awhp build? Thanks

    sorry to butt in here...but Nuke, you're saying not to go too aggressive on a TD04? (even E85?)

    Some owners want high boost td04. those things run out of breath pretty quick.

    oh ya, mine "peaks" at 21 psi...but tapers pretty quickly down to about 14psi or so at redline. But by your bottom post, it sounded like it could cause issues....I'm assuming that you are referring to going too aggressive on the tune in terms of timing, etc.

    what is too much timing on a setup such as mine? If I read my log correctly i was hitting around 18-19 degrees of timing at 18 psi, correct me if im reading this wrong. Nuke, I'd love to discuss some starting points for my build. How can we get in touch and chat?

    18-19 @ 18psi aka peak boost? lol, why not just post a log
