Posted this on the other forum but haven't had a defintive answer yet so:
I know that DET is the main cause of engine failure (besides excessive heat or lack of cooling), but is it also the main cause of turbo failure. I'm asking because when I had my car checked for fuelling, it was run at the boost settings that it came from Japan with, i.e. just over 1.2 bar. It had no DET at all so I was quite happy with that outcome but I have only been running it on low boost as I don't know if the turbo's have been uprated and don't want to run into any problems.
So my question is if I have no DET will I be ok running the car at the boost that was being used when the fuel check was done (High Boost) or do I have to get the turbo's taken out to check if they have been uprated so I don't blow them up. Its doing my head in so I would be grateful for any light that could be shed on this subject. Thanks
