I'm not sure if that is actually the case, unless we are talking hitting full boost at VERY low RPMs (where there is insufficient oil pressure at the crank/rods) ?


These cars seem to suffer from oiling issues at higher RPMs, not at lower ones.


Given this, an install that gives up some top end for more midrange might be able to yield the same performance while giving better reliability, not worse.
