The stock VF39 is not very efficient at all at levels near/above 18psi. I think my targets are now down to 17-15. If you compare boost vs. MAF volts you can see that additional boost doesn't always equal more air.

When paul has time (haha) he's gonna split the cases on the old block so we can do some forensics to see if the bearing really was spun.

the 2.5 motor just sucks at getting oil through the crank at high revs.

Me and Adam over at LIC took a look at the motor when I brought it in the next day from when I spun it...and there were chunks of brass in there

Maybe my body got too used to the caffine or something? It seems that my body adapts to that kinda stuff quick I guess.
Maybe I'll take a look around and see whats available. I do like my Whey from Precision Engineered though

I just hope it's just so minor that it didn't get that far yet. It was a very subtle knock and like I said I've done this before so I knew it was only gonna get worse. I didn't want to drive it with pixie dust running through the turbo.

So watch on your rex. There's no need to spin these motors that high anyway.
