enough boost is when you have 3 dimple marks in the hood from the valve cover nuts..
Get 204-4706! http://arpdiesel.com/pages/newproducts.shtml220,000psi... 30,000psi more than the cosworth head studs!
Nice...thanks.Don't see engine code MF in their list but with ME listed probably would work in MF too?

I got mine cheapest at summit racing. Jegs will price match summit and others. Summit is just closest for me, but they will ship about anywhere.I used a metal hg and torqued it to 100ft/lbs. I did it in about 6 steps though. First I covered the HG in aviation permatex stuff, put the head and everything on, and hand tightened all the nuts. Then I torqued in sequence at 30ft/lbs then 45ft/lbs then 60ft/lbs. I then stopped, filled it with coolant, and plugged in the block heater for 12 hours. It got to 170 degrees at that time. I unplugged it and let it cool a day and did plugged it in again for another 12 hours or so. Then I let it cool and finished torquing the head on 70ft/lbs then 85 ft/lbs and finally 100ft/lbs.ADHD??? maybe, but they didn't have that diagnosis when I was little so I was just a bad kid that needed a beating. BUT with over 4,000 miles and regularly 17lbs boost with the old ocasional 25psi boost*now much better limited to the 17* no leaks or concerns.
I will hit 1,200F before I get to do anything fun. I can get to 1,200 with every gear and every shift before the engine is done twisting. I don't have it intercooled and I am hoping that makes it into a different car. I made 30 psi at short bursts before I had the wastegate set correctly. The car really isn't all that I wanted it to be, but it is reliable so far. I don't blow any smoke with those temps either...Giles pump.Like I said I hope the intercooler makes a night and day difference in EGT. As of now it really is only a little better than my old GTI. When I had the pump set to where Giles had it is was unreal. I could only get on it for about .5 second before it went to 1,200F though. I realize I could do more than 1,200F but this is my daily and I don't want to mess with the engine for another 200,000 or so. That said I think if I didn't let off with the Giles setting I could wrap the EGT gauge needle over to my oil pressure gauge in about 3 seconds.To OP, see my other post for your info:D
