On a side note how much power were you making? What size of turbo were you using? 7psi means nothing.
It just goes to show that crappy tuning will destroy a motor not the amount of boost you run.
What exactly broke in the motor? Generally you'll crack a ring land or melt a piston before you break a rod, must have been some pretty severe detonation.
Eg b20b turbo

Anyone one know,how big the difference of performance after stock B16A engine then change the bottom to B20B? Is it really feel the difference,especially low end torque? And B16A with B20B botttom (all stock) what is the highest rpm is safe for everyday driving? thanks.
