I'm picturing a car in my mind right now, The Pontiac solstice GXP, and Saturn sky redline, both direct injected, yes they had lower compression, but they are also running more boost, why didn't they blowup?

A properly sized turbo, with adequate intercooling, and correct tuning at 7 to 9 PSI should be easily achievable, and will not be any less reliable than sticking a turbo on any other naturally aspirated vehicle.

I'm not really concerned. Just noting that because of the high c/r it wont be as easy as there other examples listed throughout the thread (just like you said). Also that we can't really speculate what the FA20 can or cannot do (and at what cost) this early in the game :happy0180:
