so far, everyone's who I've talked to has never said anything about this but....
 A friend of mine's Dad was talking to me about my soon-to-be turbo setup.  He was thinking that if I don't fully build the engine, I'd be blowing it up.
 I can almost see where he's coming from, he blew an Alpha engine after having the psi set to 24 for a while...but I'm thinking of only 7psi...I've heard that the only thing that you'll "need" to do is the fuel injectors(although some people argue that).  Any idea how strong the rods & pistons are?

(for those of you who frequent the freshalloy boards, I'll be posting there as well)
