Well the little guy 8 turbo can only flow so much air mike, and i think that 450 whp os just going to be out of its range. 430 is doable for sure, but that extra 20 whp is going to be hard to come by.

not exactly sure what leads to the failure, from what I've gathered, it can be both. Some also say the temps rise too high, but that really only happens after prolonged abuse like at a racetrack (not drag).

Just wanted to give people an update and let them know that the car is still running perfectly! I drive the car everyday and go through the gears every time. Still haven't rev'd past 8K because there is no reason to... <3 huge power band lol
Just proof that a great tune along with maintenance will allow you to run the car hard and not worry about anything blowing up
