I know, the question doesn't help. If this were a chat room, I'd wait for the OP to be away before asking. :\

I hope you get this sorted. That's a lotta money and heartache that I certainly wouldn't be happy about if I were in your shoes.
There is a risk but there is a way to minimize it too. Not sure if the install/tune was botched which caused it or because of this mystic dragon of a 1/100 motor that will pop making less torque than turbo VQs that can handle far more torque.
