20lbs of boost... that is ALOT of boost from a large turbo in a small engine.... yeah 15lbs boost and he would have been fine. he was only doing 193hp at the wheels.
When you turn your car on... does it return the favor?

Once said 7 seconds he'd clock.
So his engine he goosed
With much too much boost,
And drove a rod through his block.
I can tell you from experiance, The GTR VJ-23 turbo is VERY potent. I'm running 8 psi right now (stock level) and it gives a nice swift kick in the ass. There is no need to run 20psi on this turbo unless you feel like replacing things like that guy chose to do. Goes to show you what happens when you get greedy for power without the proper tuning or parts.

I'm sort of hijaacking the thread here, but what kind of whp are you putting down?
I Believe Braden hit around 220whp with the NA block and a turbo strapped on there (the vj-21 I think). Not to mention that one guy in his miata putting down 399whp on stock internals.
Poorly tuned, or a beat-on block? I dunno... Sucks to be that guy though
