um... the source of the tune should not be blamed for this...
I'd be inclined to think:
'high boost' + 'stock bottom end' = 'trouble'
I'm inclined to agree.
Even though I tweaked punctuation (ect) to further clarify, I feel this is VERY well put.
I just don't, and probably will never, understand why so many people here think that you can throw more boost on a stock engine, make more power - then get surprised when it pop's...
more power = more internal stress on engine
That's my two cents worth... oh wait, the penny has been discontinued
That's my five cent's worth...

raises hand and submits wiki copies lol
A dynamometer or "dyno" for short, is a device for measuring force, moment of force (torque), or power. For example, the power produced by an engine, motor or other rotating prime mover can be calculated by simultaneously measuring torque and rotational speed (RPM).
A dynamometer can also be used to determine the torque and power required to operate a driven machine such as a pump. In that case, a motoring or driving dynamometer is used. A dynamometer that is designed to be driven is called an absorption or passive dynamometer. A dynamometer that can either drive or absorb is called a universal or active dynamometer.
In addition to being used to determine the torque or power characteristics of a machine under test (MUT), dynamometers are employed in a number of other roles. In standard emissions testing cycles such as those defined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), dynamometers are used to provide simulated road loading of either the engine (using an engine dynamometer) or full powertrain (using a chassis dynamometer). In fact, beyond simple power and torque measurements, dynamometers can be used as part of a testbed for a variety of engine development activities, such as the calibration of engine management controllers, detailed investigations into combustion behavior, and tribology.
In the medical terminology, hand-held dynamometers are used for routine screening of grip and hand strength, and the initial and ongoing evaluation of patients with hand trauma or dysfunction. They are also used to measure grip strength in patients where compromise of the cervical nerve roots or peripheral nerves is suspected.
In the rehabilitation, kinesiology, and ergonomics realms, force dynamometers are used for measuring the back, grip, arm, and/or leg strength of athletes, patients, and workers to evaluate physical status, performance, and task demands. Typically the force applied to a lever or through a cable is measured and then converted to a moment of force by multiplying by the perpendicular distance from the force to the axis of the level.[1]

BTW(off subject...Sorry lol) But did I ever say your White T/C makes me drool? I looked for a White one forever and found out that they really don't exist, Seriously I Love your ride man.

You have a clean, nice ride as well man. Don't sell yourself short. We're both in this because we're enthusiasts!

Yeah, lol. You obviously need to reread where you told everyone else to do research. I think you misunderstood what you said, lol...

Just messing, I was going to gold powdercoat mine but wanted more of a real gold look so I didn't.
Kudos to you. Seriously. Way to be a nice guy

High Boost or High hp?
From reading this I am confused about which is more dangerous.....
Lets say you have:
turbo X that makes 400hp at somewhat high psi 25-27psi
or
turbo Y that makes 450hp at moderate psi 22-24psi
which is more dangerous for the engine?...High Boost or High hp?
