You have to keep the boost to a minimal level, because the effective compression ratio goes way up. If there are no issues, can you tell me why the factory increased the block rigidity in the revised engine?


(Purple): stiffened areas


For sure, they didn't do this for the +5hp power increase. If I wanted to go FI, then I would wait for the revised engine. It has the potential to handle much more power.
