Ok thanks guys .... I always thought that the reason turbo engines blew up was because they detonated and not because to much boost .. the Buick v6 is a perfect example the stock blocks have been 35 # of boost and if you ever seen the stock block and bottom ends they are very weak in stock form ....mine had a girdle and they have held together as long as they don’t detonate ... but I blew headgaskets from not having enough octane though . Also will a motor make more power on more boost and low timing or low boost and lots of timing ??
