Well my season's over.
Well I took the car out yesterday. Got on it a few times and when i let off one time. I thought I heard something metal shoot out of my exhaust. So today I decided to listen to the blower while it was idling to see if it made any weird noises and sure enough it was... I heard a slight knock from time to time. So I went ahead and took the belt off to check the input shaft and she was all kinds of loose. So the ysi needs to go in for a rebuild... What sucks is the money I was going to use for the turbo now has to be used for the ysi.. So I wont be going turbo'd next season..

Sorry to hear man. I doubt you were overspinning it just getting on it on the street. Probably on the dyno at 7k though
