Guys(John,Steve,Todd,Dave),

It will be great to see how the different setups compare as more hours are accumulated. Discussions on how much boost got me thinking. Steve, I believe you told me you had a stock turbo engine so I would guess 8.5 rotors. John, yours are 9 something if I remember. Dave/Todd I don’t recall seeing in the posts your compression ratios? This will be some great data!

John,

This is probably a dumb question but, did you wipe down the pipes to get any oil off before putting the hose and clamp on? Just a thought on what could be different in the setups. Was it the same joint that blew each time?
