I hit 20 PSI once, because i had incorrectly installed my wastegate. No problems for 8 months after that, either.

Easy: the DeltaGate has two ports. I used the wrong one and boosted the sucker shut.

I've hit 10 psi before and run 8psi daily....just at 10 psi i get this studdering feeling that I don't like....Like there is not enough fuel going in so I just don't go up to 10 anymore....:( but 8 daily is running strong right now...
Does anyone have a better explaination to why my car studders at 10psi????? cause i would really like to know...thanx.

Probably for the same reason mine stuttered when my wastegate was boosted shut.. extreme detonation combined with pulled timing and misfires. Still can't believe i didn't blow it up then..

So if I put my cam gears in....maybe retard the timing a bit....then get a MSD ignition I should be ok for the time being????
