MWC made a very good point that I felt needed a thread. For those of you who have blown a motor under boost, what boost pressure were you at when it blew?

I closed my wastegate and hit well over 15PSI once (ONCE!). Didn't hurt anything.
Wyatt did the same thing, hit 20+ PSI and cracked a coupla pistons.
MWC cratered at 22PSI.
rsXboy trashed his at 7PSI. If i remember correctly, he said his turbo and manifold were glowing red when he stopped.
99GSBBTurbo gave out at 9(?)PSI, but it was likely a problem unrelated to the turbo. (valves, it seems....)
Anthony blew his headgasket at 8PSI
there's been others... But these are the ones i can specifically remember. All internal failures in these vehicles are related to two things: Too much boost, or too little fuel. Either one can do us in.

...'cause he actually cracked 3 of his pistons and the builder(who I refered him too) told me he was essentally running pressurized on 2 cylinder with severe compression loss in 2(like FIFTEY 50 I think) and 150 in one of the other 2.

Yes i was. i couldn't remember what he was going by on the board, as he hasn't posted in a while. Last i had heard, the only issue he'd had was a blown headgasket. Guess i missed that one.
