SignUp Now!No hard feelings. I was just speaking in general of what I know. There will always be someone smarter, faster, more powerful, or whatever.
I personally think Boost is Boost.......putting any boost to a stock motor is gonna cause problems in the end but.....i may be running the same psi as a S/C kit may but i have always said it and i will stand by it. PSI is important but CFM is just as important. at 5 psi i dynoed at about the same rwhp as a heavly modded TRD S/C running ~7 psi. so in regaurds to that i was running 10psi on a T4 60-1 turbo and it was peaking out around 12psi on really cold days. thats where i went wrong because as Gadget can tell you from his tuning in my truck. There was no Knock or detonation.
im no expert on engines, but i dont think its accurate to say knock had to cause this. ds doesnt drive his truck from what ive read. lol. lame obviously drives his a LOT. theres a ton of things that could have gone wrong. with all that friction and heat any little blip can cause disaster...

X-1 is sold but the Turbo kit is still for sale and sitting in the Garage
I Have other plans down the road for the truck i just want to pay it off first then i will work on it
...n00bdid u put the turbo back on?
my egt were low, afr was plenty rich, never detected a knock? never had low oil psi, or even high coolant temps?
sooo this leads me to think, did u have ur injectors flow tested? maybe one is partially clogged?
i had the same thing happen, minus extreme shavings and scoring up the cylinder walls.
Then you have guys like steve-O (ntinhri) who just beat the living shit out of the thing banging gears all the way who are ok. Steve is running NST lowers & upper pulleys - hes making a HUGE amount of heat lol. He recognizes knock himself, and runs a good tune.
lol yardie out of left feild
yeah wtf lol?
