Ahhh... but there HAS been damage done by increasing the boost.
I know because it has happened to me and a couple of friends. I just went through the ordeal of replacing my turbo with a brand new one ($880 MSRP not including labor which I did myself). And why did the turbo fail? Ohhhhh... maybe that 16 lbs of boost I've been pushing through it for the last couple years.
Dan Tucker on this site has been through TWO turbos but he's pushing nearly 20 lbs of boost. Dan has also had his tranny rebuilt, and mine isn't feeling so good lately either. My engine is burning oil too... How much further evidence do you need?
The fact is... Increasing the performance of your engine WILL affect reliability. If it didn't then why doesn't Saab offer 16 lbs of boost (instead of the stock 10 lbs) on every NG900/9-3?
I just want to make sure that everyone knows they are playing with fire... Yeah, it's fun... until you get burned.
