I guess that's not surprising...these motors definitely aren't optimized for FI. Of you just threw a t3/t4 amazon special on there and turned the boost to 15 psi them I'd be amazed if they made it home from the shop.

The TPC turbo kits and older SC kits ran around 5psi of boost and I don't think I've heard of anyone grenading their motor on one of those systems. (Although I am certainly not vouching for those systems, when I spoke to those guys on the phone I wasn't sure they even knew what a 986 was).
