Still, pieces of the internals can go into the exhaust and into the turbine wheel.

I have noticed the spring in WG in the TN kit does spike a bit, we usually replace them with the 5psi spring to prevent spiking..otherwise you see 9-11psi spikes alot..Even with the Overboost pipe.

Did a vaccum line come off, or just pure and simple overboost. What boost controller are you using..if any.

Yikes! That is running dangerously lean and would be prone to knock. You should be down around 12.5

Edit: Never mind my comment. I misread that and thought you said teens.

hks head gaskets
arp hardware
jwt C2 cams
jwt springs

I think the title of this Post should be more like " I can thank a malfunction on my Turboed Motor for this" before pointing a finger at TN----Just my 2 cents

Ohh. Do you want to keep the kit and stay single, and just get a bigger turbo or sell the kit and go twins?
