OWNED · Post by **OWNED** » Thu Oct 07, 2010 3:28 am

do any of you guys that run turbo setups use a blockguard? i was wondering how helpful this could be to put in my b18? also do they have to be welded in?

i run one its cheep insurance like a hundred bucks and i just pressed mine in honestly do you need one umm... its opinionated me i say you could be fine without one till about 300hp and ive seen guys run them all day long making up to 500hp but anything more i would spend the money for sleaves so that you done blow up your investment

ok cool thank you for the help, i think im probably gonna go ahead and do one since they arent too costly anyways. added reliability is always a plus! :thumbup:

ok i just found some further info on another forum. alot of ppl say it is un-necessary as long as you dont have a shitty tune and all your clearances are right. im thinking its probably not a risk im willing to take messing with it now.

Not needed. This should give you a basic run down of what you do and do not need for a turbo B-Series based on power goals.
