Or maybe something else went wrong. Driving style, bad gas, your Moon was in Jupiter, a factory defect like Jecky's car, or just bad luck. One thing is certain mine is running great at 48,000 plus miles with 12-13PSI of fun almost the entire time. Heck, I even get 400 miles out of 12 gallons with several WOT runs a day to and from work. Out of the several thousand MSP's that have been manufactured only a handfull have had motors blow there has to be a certain number of flaws that would be much more apparent under higher boost that may never have reared their ugly heads under the very sad 5-7 stock PSI.hello2000 said:(mswerd)
I raise mine to 12PSI too and I have a FMIC and a CAI--Which helps the engine, not hurt it. The reason it slung a rod was because of backpressure.
Don't get me wrong a new exhaust is defintely in the cards just not right now. I love the ION but I actually want to get the exhaust while I still own the car

So maybe Perrin(?) or Cork Sport.
