a stupid mistake
 
yesterday i put the turbo on my car and when i got to the shop i realized i forgot my 450,s at home so i thought 10 miles wasnt bad if i keep it out of boost but i caught a red light and did a full drag launch 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and then bang 15 minutes of fame it has a hole in the blockthe size of a baseball now i gotta put another engine in by tonight should i boost again

That was with your stock injectors? I don't see how you were even able to build boost. :-\ It would have fallen on it's face if you tried to boost.

it went past 10 psi but then i had to look at the road
but i was told that a ihirhb5 is set at 7psi what could be the problem the wastegate is hooked ou to a nopple on the turbine housing is that right

All the time and effort to boost your car, and then you blow the whole thing doing something stupid like that? You may be up for an award this year. :D :-[

Re:a stupid mistake
 
hold on--you're asking if you should boost again???? I'd be asking if you should be allowed to have children. :P

btw, I love your sig, that pretty much sums up what you did huh
