The computer code stated it was over-boost? I would think that is phisically impossible with the stock pulley? How could the SC make more boost unless a pulley swap had been made.... Sounds fishy to me!

Sounds like someone did the boost by-pass mod and hit redline.

Well mine threw a rod at 1286mi. Looked like poor assembly though. When I saw my old motor it looked as though the rod cap just came off and let the rod go. I also heard some uncomfirmed rumors of another local guy who lost his motor very recently...dont know any more than that though. And whats the deal with the boost by-pass mod? What sort of problems can that create?

No way it over boosted and blew up stock.
He must have swapped pullies with no yune or something..
