What was the WHP?
What wtrq?
How long did it run before it died?
Was it ever 100% running right before it died?
What kit?
What PSI?
What was the cause if you know?
What year was the car?

2011 G37X Coupe
Long story was a drove the car for 6 months @ 412 WHP and 300WTRQ, had some issues with the SC ingesting water, then TB harness broke, fuel pump feed line split cause it was wrong. Pretty much all this happened the same time. So I upgraded the impeller and got a retune from Kaizen. The car ran great for 3 days the blew up.
Not to revisit the whole story but I think the tune was part of the issue on top of the tuner making multiple WOT pulls on the dyno and telling me the car is way down of fuel. They probably could have diaq'd it better and making WOT pulls before finding the feed line was split to the fuel pump. Hell I suggested that over the phone after they had the car for like 2 weeks!
I also upgraded everything under the sun and still failed
