    When you're not on boost, it shouldn't make a difference whether or not it has a turbo bolted to it as to any temperature issues. How did you achieve boost retard? If you just backed the timing off at the dizzy, it might be retarded to the point of cooking the motor.

    wouldnt have a clue to be honest, was tuned by JPC - temps have slowly been getting worse and worse

    Mines a 4 speed and I went back down to 2.9s. I had 3.7 and tried 3.23 and there was little difference. First gear was way to short and banging throw the gears way to quick. Revs are the big killer, mine only pulls to alittle over 5k. Starts making boost around 2600rpm and full boost (10psi) at 3k.  2.9s in 3rd at 5k im doing about 155kph. Mines also in a corty so pulls along nicely off boost and cruising around.

    not sure on the gearing in the c4 but id assume the 4 speed would have a shorter 1st compared to what im running, think ill try 3.23 and that will hopefully give it a bit more out of the line and hopefully not lose too much up top. i havent put a boost gauge on it yet (just got one yesterday) so not sure at what rpm it makes full boost, definitely comes on hard early though.
