Default 15 psi is too much :(

In a hunger for more, i decided to raise the boost from 9 to 15 psi on my stock Peugeot 1.4 engine.... well it was quick for a mile or two... then a bang and a lot of white/ blue smoke.

The engine stopped and i could not tick it over any more....

Guess, i will find out soon enough what went wrong.
