Toys I'm sure it "can" run 24psi on the TC06 with pump, but even on a spot on tune I don't think even you can deny the reliability issues involved.

Anything outside the original Manufacturer's design always reduces reliability :beer

hehe, so you're saying everyone should be asking how many kms you plan to get out of the engine, not try and say it cant' be done?

Yep :P
I think I'll be lucky to get 20,000K's out of it before the Cylinders have worn out and blow-by becomes a big issue again :(
With some luck you should get a bit better turn out then last time :)

Your rebuilding an engine for 20,000kms of expected life??

I'm guessing that it won't be a daily driver, and wont be run at 24psi all the time, probably just for dyno runs, drag etc.
Given these factors it should last longer, and depending how often its driven 20,000km's can last quite a few years, my grandpas 80's VC brock commodore has less than 90,000k's on the clock from memory and thats in 27 years.

If it sees 24psi everyday then yeah..... otherwise it'll last longer ofcourse :beer

So who's gonna be in charge of the cruise ? Or should we postpone it since I and you won't be there, along with Starion_Turbo....... :(

Everyone can meet up if they want still, not sure how many stazs there will be though. When do you think you'll be ready for a meet? we'll make the next one then.
