No, actually in the thread they were saying this was done on a stock 7bolt motor WITH balance shafts, therefore its not like its on a bored out and blueprint balanced 10.1:1 compression racing motor or anything.
Not to mention i rememeber reading that the timing was only like 17 degs climbing to 24 to redline. That wouldnt be considered "aggressive" for someone trying to max out a turbo like that to that limit w/ high octane.
They said boost was spiking 30lbs and falling to like 24 by redline which is another normal thing on a 16g. For them to get those numbers id think they'd have to have a way to get it to hold max boost for a little longer than what was mentioned.
Stuff like that is making it hard to believe given that it
was not a maxed out setup.
