I think boost is pretty important.

Dont know about LET's but with the Subaru engines any excessive boost leads to det pretty quickly - Big end failure or piston meltdown. It isnt uncommon either as its run of the mill for the boost solenoid to fill with crap and jam.

I'm at Cov uni, so am usually down near The Oak pub, that sort of area.

Can't say I've seen your car though. Live out near Bedworth so not actually in Coventry much.
