I dunno, but I got lucky as hell...I was running the car and the wastegate line melted and I boosted to 35+ psi a couple times, like seriously it went a 1/4 of the face past the 30 psi mark so I would figure each quarter is like 15 psi on a gauge, so maybe it would have been equal to 45 lbs?? anyway...felt it loose power,lol, so I figure it was detonating....all is fine...I think what contributed to my golden horseshoe was the fact that I was running C16, running a rich to begin with ratio, and running water injection. I now have the overboost fuel cut set to ON now at 26 lbs, lol, and routed the lines different. Boost just shot the hell way up past 30, I was like wtf is going on and since my wg is routed back in the downpipe you cant tell if it stoppeed working as if it were vented to atmosphere.

the c16 combined with water injection is what saved you. If everyone on this forum were running that combo, you wouldn't hear about 95% of the popped motors.......

Goofy

What's C16?

I knew you would sweat that one Ramy, I was like holy **** when I saw the boost gauge, and I was sweating bullets just thinking about it, lol

I know and this is the reason I dont take any chances with the gas for sure, too many horror stories from bad pump gas
