I think your engineers need to go back to school and learn some basic principles, otherwise it's going to take a few more wasted millions of dollars to make that engine run. I tried to tell you once before that a lean mixture is one cause of detonation. But they are on the right track with a larger waste gate that lowers the boost which Richens the fuel to air mixture. The size of a turbo is very important also. They have to be sized just right. When I first started hot rodding engines I thought I knew everything, ha ha. We had a Oliver 1955T and we thought let's put a larger turbo on it and add more fuel. Well that was a waste of time and work. It made quite a bit LESS power! When you build a race engine with a power adder like a turbo,blower or nitrous you have to start with a rich mixture when you first fire up the motor then you can read the plugs and lean it down gradually, otherwise if you start too lean it can detonate and blow up the engine. I have seen pictures of blowers that blew up because of a lean mixture. They have learned to wrap the blowers nowadays to keep from killing someone.
