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.



There are a lot of 500+ people here...
That is what I was thinki. S&R did the tune and perhaps thats the problem. As u can tell there's plenty of people pushing 500. This motor is stout and should hold much longer than these 2 kits did.
Just trying to make the community aware.
There's too many boosted cars out there to attribute to "bad" gas although it could be its highly unlikely.
Either tune/kit something might be off. Not trying to put S&R down jus tryin to maybe get u to look over something again.
