Just teasing.
Is my free injector flow test still available?

I'm running DIY 205/80 hybrids with 44psi/3bar boost.
Stock valve springs and head bolts.
525k miles unopened engine.

I didn’t see anyone reply to the Bosch glow plugs you have listed. In the past the FTE group only recommended genuine Motorcraft(careful not to buy fakes) or the Beru plugs. Beru is the original manufacturer of the Motorcraft glow plugs.
Maybe the FTE community has accepted the Bosch plugs and I am just not aware of it as I’m not on here as much as I use to be.
Good luck!

What kind of exhaust backpressure do we see with a max of 40PSI boost? Based on the limited info available it's ~ 60 PSI? That'd equate to 131lb force on the exhaust valve, 87 on the intake valve. Seems the 910s can be shimmed to provide the needed force to counteract those pressures, while the beehives should not only provide the needed force but also stay at that spec longer than the 910s. Feel free to correct me if my math or assumptions are off.
Went ahead and ordered the beehives because KC Turbos had them far cheaper than elsewhere (lifters too).
I'm quite curious myself and eager to see what it looks like inside.
