Running high boost on standard IC, what would happen?
im looking to see why my piston rings have gone pop after 3.5k miles. and was wondering if this had anything to do with it?
i have the standard crap ford IC fitted, but the car is running higher boost then normal, woud this cause them to go pop?? or would this do other damage.
i do have plans to fit a Pro alloy one in the future

I would say 10psi is the most you can run safely. It really is pants. 14psi is far too much, ACT's will be off the scale by the end of 3rd gear.
Pro Alloy won't be much better either

Air Charge Temp.
The temperature of the air going into the engine. The cooler it is, the better. I had a custom made Pro Alloy one on mine, I have now gone back to a GRS.

act would defo be off the scale at 14 psi on a standard i/c!! mine was off the scale at just 10.5psi. was'nt much better with a pace double capacity i/c.
GRS now no probs and act NEVER gets above 34 no matter how hard you drive it
