What about the oil, water and headgasket?
Because gee runs no oil cooler, his headgasket will not fill him with confidence after goldenvtr, steveep82, ben_j and myself have all blown the same headgasket when pushed hard.

You have simply assumed I am taking it on track without an oil cooler, when you have seen threads started by me showing interest in oil cooler kits?
And the headgasket..why would this not last? You mean because it is a SpeedVision headgasket...or that a 4EFTE headgasket simply wont take 1.4bar of boost from a TD04L?
EDIT:
I see what you mean..because it is a SpeedVision headgasket. I can't deny the fact people have had problems. I currently have an oil leak, oil up the back of the engine..could be gasket for all I know, will be getting sorted soon.
My car is going on track once:
TRD LSD fitted (dropped off Saturday)
Oil cooler fitted (still looking into which to get)
Headgasket...who knows? Change to be on the safe side?
Steve pushed his car on track when he KNEW it was knocking, but kept on pushing because he thought his gauge or something was playing up. Golden pushed a headgasket which it suspected was leaking after simply starting his engine. Another used blew their Speedvision headgasket..cjanged to a branded JDM headgasket and blew that too.
Like I've said, I might change it to be on the safe side.
Oh, and assuming my water temps are fine, headgasket changed, oil cooler in place...for what reason do you think it will blow on track?
If the water temps get high, oil temps get too high..I'll replace for tripple core rad and larger cooler, its called a shakedown. Just like you discovered and will be going for a cooler with more rows as a result.
