Nope first hard run I made and the wastegate blew off right a 24.3psi. I had below 2hg vacuum at 5,000rpm during this run. Thought I blew the motor with the immediate loss in power and parts scattering under the car. Lucky the wastegate fire ring and clamp boucing under the car down the road was all that was wrong. Drove the car home and burned up my spark plug wires from the WG dump heat. Waiting for new fire ring and v-clamp so I can go for try number 2. I think I will have no vacuum at 8,000rpm with this setup but I'm ok with that since I run 15psi 99.9% of the time and only will run high boost on the track with 110 octane in the car maybe 1-2 times a year. This is my daily driver and I'm confident it will be a destroyed motor if I run 25+psi daily. I already have driveline issues and parts are starting to break each time I go high boost and hook up in late 3rd gear

Clutch didn't slip at all so I think this stage 5 will hold the torque
