Oh yeah! That's right, this happens at 14psi http://nissaninfiniticlub.net/.../page/ Made a sound like a big potato gun going off. No raddle, no clanking, and no more boost. Engine sounds fine, but I'm pulling the manifold to look for more shrapnel anyways.

Ahhh...picture say 1000 words. Man dude. Sorry that happened. I have an extra 20 Turbine, but it's eventually going in my car till I get my upgrade.

Really not that bent out a shape about. Just drove it home and ordered a new turbo, could have been a lot worse.

Only thing I was disappointed in was that it would have been the best run of the night. Best run ended up being 14.53 @ 93.23 w/ a 2.249 60' and a 9.375 1/8th mile. When the turbo blew I had a 2.1 60' and had dropped my 330 by 3/10ths. I ended up finishing the run with a 14.79 @ 83.13. I'm thinking that would have been a 14 or 14.1

Damn! Well at least its just the turbo could have been something worse! Get a 25 Turbine or a T3/T4 then you can run 14 with grace
