Ouch! How much boost where you running and what kind of fuel setup where you running? What was your Lead timing advance and split like around 5-6,000 rpm's?

It spiked to 17-19 somewhere up there...I had no business boosting nevermind leaning into the gas past half throttle!!!! I have the standard 850/1600 supra pump, blah, blah, blah...I was just breaking the engine in, putting miles on it and got way too careless! It was tuned on the rich side for non seq. twins but I had just installed the single. It was ok under 10psi but that turbo is a BEAST and it got away from me.
I didnt bother checking timing since i know its off and more important I went from a street port to a bridge so I gotta retune regardless.
Needless to say this time around rev limiter stays at 3800 for the first few hundred miles and 4500 till I get tuned. I doubt I'll see much more than 8 psi and I should make it this time!!!!
