My buddy was goofing around in his '99 GSX and with a T04 turbo on it, and he noticed that he was pushing a STRONG 30Psi. He decided to race one of his friends and he claimed that when he shifted into 4th gear and was sitting at about 4,150 his boost gauge was BURIED (the gauge maxes out at 30Psi.) He thinks he was pushing around 35 on a STOCK engine (except for fuel pump, injectors, a maf kit and intercooler) I will get pics later, but he blew the whole front side of his engine apart. He said that his crank-walk was really bad and the connecting rod snaped at the wrist pin and put a hole in the block and broke in half. Head AND block are totalled in this fiasco. I will get pics later.

i hope that he was planning on it blowing, and just seeing how much the stock engine could take.

Well.. I think this gave him a reason to convert his lexus IS300 to a TT fed monster. The lexus will be built instead of simply being rigged like the GSX. His wife didn't like the eclipse anyways... so I doubt he will build it again.
