So is that 2 motors that blew with the single turbo kit???

I know all the problems that could come with boost.
One has to think there might be a problem with the design. Perhaps more r&d is needed.
2 motors in such a short amount of time.

I know nismo370 I think is his username is goin with a big single turbo for his built motor. I'd hate to hear his motor pop in jus a few months.

While S&R's response does suck in clearing anything up I'm pretty certain one of the cars that blew was pushing over 580WHP on stock internals, can't blame them for overpowering the engine. Assuming my memory is correct on this.

Well the G37 dropped a valve while driving down the street with his wife in the car.

R&D is needed? So, GTM, Greddy Momentum, Stillen, Boosted Performance and every other forced induction kit on planet must produce a different type of boost? So, i guess I need to call Precision Turbo and ask them why the laws of physics ceased to exist in there turbo..lol

Honestly if youre that worried about a blown motor that is running double the stock whp and torque then you shouldn't be looking to do a turbo project. Just think about that...These cars generally make about 270whp and 240tq stock...most turbo'd 370s put about double that down 540whp and 480tq. Most run it reliable but expect issues when pushing double the power.

There really isn't much wrong with VSR's kit. There are a few little things I would and AM doing differently but it would really just be nitpicking the kit.
