What does LPE run on the TT? Whatever they are running is what I would say was safe... :yesnod:

I beleive LPE said something around 6 PSI on a stock motor to be in the safe zone with his TT setups. Anything more requires strengthening the motor, changing to aftermarket pistons with rings suited for forced induction, along with possibly using head studs.

LPE uses 6PSI ... but people like DJ Self have bumped it up on occasion to get a lot of HP. I have heard, that once you get into that range of power ... Fuel Pump's become a big problem ... DJ Self's 550TT+++ has upgraded parts in the fuel system to help when the boost is bumped, I would suggest anyone else do the same ...
