Theoretical question. I never wanted/expected to do this, I just wanted to determine where the weak link is. As expected, it is not the Porsche flat-6 mechanicals, but the turbo and associated plumbing. That little air pump generates some SERIOUS heat!
It is apparent the turbo is designed for limited periods at full boost, not sustained full-boost high speed driving. With a larger intercooler, larger oil cooler, and proper instrumentation... hmmm....
