NO WAY could a stock FS-DE handle 20 psi. 10 psi .. maybe for a while, but it wouldn't last long. Our internals aren't that good.

hahahahaha a stock block FS-DE @ 20PSI!? Sorry, your buddy doesn't seem to know a great lot about the protege.

10 psi daily is pushing it. A lot of people will run for a few years w/ no incident, and lot of people with blow rods through the crank case. Worth the risk? You tell me.

I was going to say "technically, you could...for a minute..." but doesn't the stock turbine pretty much run out of efficiency (totally wrong terminology, but you know what I mean) @ around 15psi?

yeah past 15psi is serious diminishing returns

omg I would have been friggin cracking the f up when I was in labs making science (I was in the computational gravitation and relativity lab wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee) if I had come on this site.

Be VERY afraid of going ANYWHERE past 8psi on stock internals. I won't go above 7 and I even have a wideband to at least know what's up with that.

Cisco IP routers: easy.
Cisco Fibre Channel routers: not so easy

I <3 pretty much anything Cisco, honestly.

I've used their fiber channel stuff, but that isn't what was acting up in that lab. It was just a Catalyst 6500 unit (pretty nice.. I'd love one in my house )

I just use d-link business class stuff here though, we don't have cisco budget as we're all poor college students

McData & Brocade (one of those recently bought the other one... I can't remember which LOL) > Cisco in the FC world. FC = fun. iSCSI = pain in the *****.
