I am currently contimplating getting a Whipple SC and it made me wonder. Exactly how much boost can our engines handle before experiencing negative effects. Not just short term negative effects, but wear over time and other things of the like.
Also, what are some of the negative effects associated with too much boost?
The Whipple SC runs more boost then an M90 on a 4.0 pulley, and runs substantially cooler, so it is capable of achieving a ton more boost without overdriving things too much or creating too much heat. I dont know where the line should be drawn for 'too much' though.
(p.s. I have considered boring my engine out .02" as well, but am unsure as to what types of effects it would have when related to boost and engine heat)
