I went from 6 FDR to 4.5 on my 13.5 and WOW, with no boost and messing with the turbo you can actually feel the difference. What is happening is everyone is trying to run max boost and turbo which adds up to 40+ timing I am guessing and the motors dont know what to do even when you gear down! Turning the timing down will greatly improve temps and how it runs.
So, the FDRS I use are from novak and Fantom
When you let the Turbo come in on the right moment, the Turbo doesn't really make the motor much hotter.
I stay easy below the 180F.
You can set the Turbo on max and use Boost of 25.
Only use than a higher Turbo delay.
But it's what you say, Whit the Turbo, you don't need a lot of Boost.
