Performance may decline and then the engine will self-destruct
A serious case of deadness, the engine can’t compress the air/fuel and it basically stops the pistons or blows the head off. Almost the same effect as hydrolock
MORE POWAH
It stresses the entire engine and drive-train though
If you run extreme boost you should make sure you have forged connecting rods, a good head gasket, high airflow intake, aftermarket head studs, engine management system, capable transmission, high flow exhaust, good cooling systems, and one of the most important things is a professional tuning.
Other important but not as important things:
If you are running extreme boost levels the chances are you are going to be running too much air to fuel. This means you might need to upgrade your injectors and the other components on your fuel delivery system.
other things that would also help: Upgraded bearings Racing Cam Shaft to keep your valves open longer Sleeves to increase your compression Aftermarket Crankshaft
The most common failures are: Bad tuning that will destroy your engine Blown head gasket(from not having aftermarket studs) Broken connecting rods(They get weak from the high heat and stress from being jerked back and forth) A turbo failing on you which can cause really bad damage
What rate of boost are usually considered “extreme boost”? 1.8 bar maybe?
