my thoughts exactly. I have ran 11 PSI, with just some octane booster dumped in, and no detonation. In fact, i feel that my car runs too rich half of the time. I have never noticed the slightest bit of detonation. I keep boost sane on the street, dump race gas in for the track, and i don't see any problems. I think our motors are built a hell of a lot better than even some older turbo cars were, and they have been known to run 15 PSI. For example, the chrysler 2.2 turbo motors. I would venture to say that alot of these motor failures were related to human error, or boost spikes caused by us doing something. Either that, or faulty parts on the car, like Raizin's cam shaft snapping. I just don't see how everyone is getting detonation.
