Thats pretty much the limit of a stock lump, personally i wouldnt run it at that as IMO its almost a time bomb but ill be dependant on condition of engine.

But im sure others will disagree an say theyve had more powerful and been running for years on a stock motor.

I dont have a turbo motor just read about them alot.

I cant see a ebc hurting, and they do help with spool up if setup well, plus they have spike warnings etc which is nice to have.

I would assume thats fly and wheels unless your hi-lo boost button still works?

Have you checked to see if leeroy had an old build thread?

I thought Sparky ran 1.4 bar and it blew up on the rollers, but yes what everyone else has said. At that bhp though standard i wouldnt expect that engine to last longer than 12months! i would stick to around 210hp on standard you can sleep at night knowing it will last! :) at that kinda hp you are likely to snap a rod or crack a ringland :p

The issue on these engines is there age.... Mechnical Fatigue is setting in...

Generally... 1bar on a ct9 or 1.2bar on a TD04 is considered the limits...

However it still depends hugely on the mapping... A shit map your car could go pop at stock boost...

Go with a reputable tuner... I know Driver on here ran 1.4bar+ on a td04 on a stock engine for over a year and deathed it with no issues...
