True...but its a pity we have to empty the slugs out over a bin before even thinking about reliability with boost....



What? I hope you are talking about stock pistons? Aftermarket slugs are holding just fine and handling more boost than most on here will ever make.

Heck, even the stock pistons with a good tune will handle 18+ psi. As I found out it is the rods or rod bolts that failed at 25+psi.

Impressive in my book for a completely stock Gen III w/85,000 miles that never had the valve covers off!

Try that with a factory B or RB engine!
