so its mainly the mbc? b/c I've got some bolt ons like UICP, intake, TBE and since then it boosts @ 25 but tapers down. So is 25lbs ok if I'm tapering down?

I can't help it though, my boost went up because of the new UICP, intake and TBE. I don't have a MBC or anything like that of any sort.

Go get a tune, and have the boost tables adjusted.

The only thing I am really mad about is I can't turn my block in as a core, since the lower half of the block is messed up, and I have a rod size hole threw the sleeve and block itself. On the bright side I didn't crash and die on the way home

. Gotta look at the positives

Sorry this happened

Same thing happened to me on my evo 8 last summer (my car was tuned to clarify) and I had the same attitude you did..thank god it wasn't worse and your okay because you can't replace life! Unfortunately for myself my car was outta warranty

Good luck
