No way form or fashion can Z1 get blamed. This is not a tune issue I feel.

Hey, be happy. Short block build.

Like were you running high boost BEFORE you went in for your tune? Was the install correct?

The build thread says 10 lbs

If only we trusted all build threads, lol

Or maybe no boost controller at time of install? Boost ran high before the OP had one. Plethora of things to go wrong... Just don't feel the name Z1 should even be mentioned. I don't see this as a tuning issue, especially if there was no AFR problem and the boost wasn't high (AT TIME OF INCIDENT)...

Just would like to get more info before we point fingers

This sucks to hear. Makes me happy thinking I only hit over 10psi over 6k rpm. Best of luck getting it sorted out

Faulty= Overboost. Or was it hooked up wrong?
