There's always a chance for detonation. Everyone knows that. Just going with common sense or the "trend" here. 2 motors in short amount of time from the same kit. Seems very odd. Maybe in the design, tune? Something doesn't seem right from the outside looking in.
Researching STS or GtM or Stillen, can't find anyone that had blown motors so soon after. I've been runnin boost on the VQ for years now. Jus callin it how I see it. Hope it was all just a coincidence.

The biggest factor would be the tune not being stable. I imagine these two blown motors are not local? Local fuels can be quite different and effect a tune especially with E85. Also climate and sea level can as well. We also cannot be sure what boost they were actually running at the time...EBC's make it really easy for people to push too much. I wouldn't say that it is an issue with the kit. More or less the tune or user would be the more likely problem.
