Low boost at best. Those rods are the size of pencils!

Boost it..it has been done many times before..
good fuel and ignition management and about 10 psi of boost will do the job ... that's how I would do it ..nothing less..below 10 psi is for pussies

I feel the same way, but my first boosted motor was a 1.5 running an AFC and I beat the holy ---- out of that motor. It started off with an FMU, then an AFC, then Uberdata. If it weren't for that blockguard it would have lasted several thousand more miles. I'm sure I was pushing over the magical breaking point of a D15.
