I shouldnt of hurt anything at that revs, boost or load, probly just flooded it.but I can see what your going on about if I was stupid and didnt know what was happening and tried holding it to the boards and see what would happen.thanks for your concern anyway mate.←no worries mate, as long as it didn't damage anything.. in general, how does it feel to drive?? with your performance tunes in? If it feels strong, and drives well, I got a strong feeling that you may not have a problem at all. When my car was first tuned to 300rwkw, I belted it in 1st and 2nd and boost only went to about 8-10psi, and I was concerned because I thought it was meant to be 15psi.. only when I rang my tuner to confirm things, he said that in the lower gears it was best to keep the boost down a bit, so that's what he did. I then took it for a spin and 3rd and 4th would only boost to around 12psi.. I again gave him a buzz, and he said to check the hoses.. I checked the hoses and the throttle body was loose. Tightened her up, and went for another spin, hit 15psi in 3rd at around 3100rpm, and then by about 4500-5000rpm it was dropping back to around 11-12psi. All tuned that way to help protect the standard bottom end and my standard valve springs.The car still drives great, and feels awesome. Perhaps it's just the way the car is tuned. As you said, get it on the dyno and check out the afrs and how much boost it's running. It could very well be just the way it's tuned. Good luck with it all, hope it all goes well.

Its smooth and slowish starting to pick up then it gives you a kick in the pants when it hits that magic number and really goes.cant wait till after I know shes sweet so I then will be able to eat up that ricer mazda I see every morning going to work.
