    i have been ridign around for 6 months or more on a base map...ran low 12's...over boosted many times...(17psi) revved to 9500rpms...all on a stock gsr. no probs yet. if you did some major damage its most likely due to your motor not being up to the task of boost moreso thatn the base map being that far off. jason has been good to me and kyle with the base maps. true they are only to get you going till you can tune...but a basemap for a stock gsr with a 60 trim and 550's...there are millions of them. and imsure they are all very similar....may not be dead on but close enought o run a car good...hell i ran 12.2@116 on a base map and stock motor, kyle ran 12.8 on a base map and stock motor. its shitty the at this happened but its not just the base map...the motor has to be ready for the abuse too. i think the prob was most likely that while you were untuned your car was not making near the power it was after the tune..and thast why it fucked up after the tune. it was making more power with a good clean tune and teh shit in your motor couldnt handle it. didnt you say the previous owner rebuilt the motor or somehting...what did he use for internals?

    ive ran more than that. the map is from a gsr with the same turbo/fuel system and 10 psi. it runs ok...ok enough to run low 12's. wheni tune it im gonna crank theboost up more. fuck it. i have had this motor for 3.5 years now and boosted it twice. if it blows up its no big deal.

    glad you got your shit taken aprt ..now get it back together and save for that sleeved block and some good internals. build it right and be happy
