[QUOTE="bbka, post: 2161846, member: 570536"] Well my point is that "boost creep" is a result of a poorly placed external WG on your manifold or sometimes if you have a crappy internal wastegate (that one happened to me). Without a WG your turbo would just spin out of control (I'm pretty sure you know that though), so that's a little different than boost creep (it just sounded weird to me how you described it). The open deck design of the honda sleeves are defintely not the weakest point, the rods and pistons will go long before the sleeves. Block guards do absolutely nothing, the sleeves will wobble at high rpms, but that's not enough to make them crack, detonation along with the high rpms will make the sleeves crack. Ha that guy you think is a complete idiot is one of the best honda tuners around and has tuned many 500+ whp stock sleeve hondas, as well as many built SFWD hondas (some have been over 800whp). That link was just to his own personal car. The things he has done with hondas are pretty amazing. [URL="http://www.evans-tuning.com"]http://www.evans-tuning.com[/URL] has a ton of good info.
