i was riding shotgun in the car, and at the time of the failure, we were cruising steadily at 80-85, putting the motor at about 4k rpm, slightly less (chris trying to keep the loop closed), and it was about about 5 on the boost guage...except it was on the left side of the "0" ....14 psi had been run, but it was on a stock turbo, which that motor pretty much laughs at, considering all the supporting stuffs done...it was just a freak incident i guess, it happens
