Pure800 bad for internals?

[JAWTB]

I’ve been pretty dead set on upgrading my turbo this winter to the pure800. But according to someone in a Facebook group running a pure800 on pump gas is risky for the internals.
There are no gas stations near me that carry E and running meth and having to constantly top off just seems kinda silly. It’s also in my lease that I can’t store fuel at my house. I move every 4 years and really can’t be bothered trying to buy and sell a house every 4 years.

Anyways, my goal is 500whp I’m currently, intake, catless, exhaust and tuned. In the pure800 really gonna need to mush that much boost through to get me to that goal, so much so that it’s putting the internals at risk? I know modding a car is kinda crapshoot, so I’m just looking for advice/multiple opiniond

Get a quality tune from a good tuner. Its all about the tune.

maybe running meth is an option? i dont know everything about meth but if you are running meth for fuel the best method is have it spray in the ports with a spacer or billet intake manifold instead of at the charge pipe. correct me if i am wrong

I'm about 2k miles on 93 custom tune, s58 injectors, and a pure800 and it's been fine, no issues.

I'd be interested to know what these supposed issues are. If you're trying to throw 30+psi of boost on 93, of course it's not going to go well for the stock internals, and aside from the general risk that comes w/ modding and tuning...

I would say - the lag is more noticable on the Pure800 and if I did it again, I'd look at the 700-750 instead. Try a drive it before you buy it kind of thing.

Is there a reason why you upgraded to S58 injectors when you are running 93 octane? Planning for Ethanol down the road?

This is easily solvable by ignoring your leasing agreement. Whose gonna tattle on ya?

Soon-ish, I've finally found an e-station near me, so flex fuel is definitely up after the manifold Picked em' up because someone on the forum was selling them for a decent price, figured why not. Totally don't have a spending problem

bigger wheel turbo will generally run far lower iats then a small wheel turbo since you arent pushing it way outside of its efficiency window like the stock turbo.

I'd wager the lower IAT and higher boost threshold is way easier on the engine internals then the high iat and lower flow of a stock turbo. stock supra internals are plenty stout to more then a pure 800 can make.
