Default Maxed out Turbo safe for a grandad?
I just wondered if maxing out a TD05 with map to suit is safe for a grandad who only ever goes on boost to overtake the odd slow moving tractor?

I know they say a maxed out turbo only shifts hot air but is that after a period of spirited driving etc? Will a grandad be ok with the odd venture onto 1.5-1.6bar of boost for a second or 2?

Not too sure why anyone would need a td05 at 1.6 bar to do a tractor though.... Unless its one of those ones that pulls wheelies and competes in tractor pulling?!

How old is the grandad?

I would also recommend a MPG increasing capacitor to smooth out voltage irregularities from the extreme boost...

Also a flux capacitor in the boot incase the 1.6bar is not enough....

And a roof flap you can open after over taking to use as an air brake due to the immense speed of the 1.6 bar and flux capacitor combined, its like a veyron, only better.....

In case Grandad pulls onto the drag strip accidentally and gets all nostalgic.

Can the TD05 do it's bit for 13 seconds without becoming a flame thrower?
