Default NOT F-ING COOL!!!!!!

On my way from the gas station (filling with 93 octane ****water) I see my Defi boost guage bounce off the 35 PSI limit. I was looking down at it to check boost level because I had just turned it way down.

New AN line came off the adapter at the boost tube! Not cool.
Hopefully there was enough good fuel in the line as I was only 3 miles from the station. Egt's are normal.

OT , I like the look without the cap and rotor. Looks like you cut the rear cam sprocket cover off,Nice!
Were's the wasted spark mounted?

Hope the 35psi spike didn't blow anything.

I bounced the needle of my 30psi gauge a few times when I was having trouble getting the hoses to stay on my wastegate. Hasn't done any damage so far. I doubt this would cause any issues as long as it was just a quick boost spike. Now sustaining that high of boost with anything less then 110 race gas would certainly be dangerous

When I first installed my EBC I had the max boost setting incorrect. With the new silicone couplers installed and tight I was able to pop the turbo to cooler coupler after I put too much foot into it!!

Luckly my headgasket is only a year old.
