Shouldn't the squirt be setup to save the engine in the event of overboost? With Holley it's quick to pull timing, keep A/F in check, and dump the gates if an event like that happened. And I've had it happen when a wastegate line called it quits and she saw 32psi. But I drove it home thanks to Holley, stock ECM would have blown up with a quickness!

I lost a motor using MS3 one time because I didn't have my over-boost protections set aggressively enough. When it hit (because I melted a wastegate line), I thought it was something else, and I just kept getting on it again. Pretty soon the motor popped, because even though the overboost protection was shutting it down, boost is building when it gets shut down, and it spikes real hard.
What I learned was to make sure that overboost cut is set to force me to get completely out of the throttle and let the RPMs go down very low before it will reset and allow acceleration again. All of these parameters are adjustable in MegaSquirts that have overboost protection or AFR protection.
I found that when I was in a mood to make boost, I was too stupid to take my foot completely out of the gas unless the protection method simply shut me completely down. Learned my lesson the hard way. Lol...

i have completely dusted motors without a drop on the ground so, thats not a good theory lol
correct its a KB style manifold, or trick performance style manifold, or any of the other 10 places that make em.
its a log that is fed from the other side
i have full pictures of the turbo kit posted somewhere deep in this thread
probably hard to find so here
