Damm. Ive boosted 22 pounds on 91 all day long for the last two years. My junk hasnt exploded yet.
That's because when your 22psi on 91oct causes knock, your ECU automatically pulls timing, which saps power. You wouldn't know this was happening unless you were using a logger. The engine isn't just going to blow up because you're boost is higher than it should be. We have intelligent ECUs to compensate for unintelligent drivers.
