LOL. > I would think about getting the block machined for o-rings and run like 40 p.s.i. of boost, to make up for the tinyness of the 1.8T. Over boring will only make the engine pissed, displacement increases seem to hurt the rev happiness of this engine. Stick with standard bore and lighten the valvetrain as much as possible. Titanium retainers and springs, I’m sure you can get them custom made. The +valves are they iconel? umm i-racing. Steff wont let me put my simulator up in the office I built! so i have been out of the race for a while. wtf. The head is built with iconel valves, Schrick titanium retainers and springs. Its a BOSS of a head. Bottom end is still my JE’s, IE rods, ACL bearings, standard bore, balanced bottom end, ARP bolts and studs. I dont foresee any issues making some major power with this thing. We will soon see. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/1-8t-intake-manifold-design-and-construction/256373)._
