If youre making this part of the comment to me, I know fully well what happened with this. I was trying to draw this real issue out. No, it wasnt Doug or TS fault. It was user error

But this doesnt make any sense though. Tuning is a major factor in a potential falure. "Tuning" include a/f ratio, timing, and boost control. Any one of those being critically off could grenade any motor, regardless of build or how aggressive it is. Presuming the tune is good and there are no failures, overreving is really about the only other factor.

Oh yeah...back "on topic..."
Hurry up and actually get that thing running one of these days... I wanna see it in-action finally
