I would have it tuned really conservative so you don't have to worry for the next 6-8 months. Honestly you'll live a lot longer without all that stress.

Good luck!
The vvt is a drive pressure/EGT monster. You might have it last longer with a regular turbo.

Conservative driving and mild tuning you SHOULD be ok.

IMO torque is what kills the motor.

A truck running dual pumps, larger injectors, and twins will most likely destroy its motor before a truck running the same fuel, but with a large single. Keep the power in the upper rpm's and the motor will last. Bring the torque in down low and its fun as hell, but the motor will pop.

Tuning plays a big part in that as well.

Just make sure to take videos if you ever go to the track. Carnage vids are great to watch.

All you all are nutz. 750 on stock bottom Dmax? :doh:

The "Borrowed Time" club is going to be getting a lot of new members this summer. :rofl:

My buddy just dual pumped and added 60% overs on his completely stock lbz and had Rob build a NASTY tune for it. I just don't understand why people do it...:eek:

I have popped a piston. #1 I think. Just shy of 40k miles on a big tune. Just rolled 76k on the truck, and was passing a jeep of all things. ALL Stock injectors turbo and cp3. Pics will be posted.:eek:

Push it and they will pop sooner or later.
