Yea, I blew my 14b @ 26lbs, no problems. Just replaced the oil, oil filter and the turbo. Didn't even pull my IC piping. I did completely blind 2 lanes with smoke on 494 though...

I had a bad t25 and it was smoking like crazy,especially at stop sign. When I wot it shot a puff of smoke out. People behind me would always switch lanes. haha

When I blew my 14b the wheel shattered into my intercooler. The pieces ended up being in the intercooler inlet. I think some may have made it into the engine, but that's an assumption because the engine was just fine afterwards. Slapped on a new turbo and it was good as before with compression results being the same. Loads of smoke too btw.
