You're going to lose a whole lot of money trying to sell it with a blown piston.

Infiniboost takes down another one.. and you're going to get like $5000-6000... who is going to take a chance buying a car with a popped piston? car is probably worth $16,000 anyway, its modded so take away some more... well, good luck

It's not who makes the tune. 30 psi will screw anyone's engine.

In before the haters...

It was the tune that did the damage.

The ignorance around here is getting ridiculous! Seriously, people need to stop running their mouths before they know what all is going on... Further down the page you'll see the numbers he was pushing before it let go. I know or a fact this is Vince's most aggressive tune and he does not give that tune out to just anyone... only someone who is willing to push the envelope and knowingly do that to get the absolute most out of their car. If you ask Cardelino the situation, I'm sure he'll vouch for that. For all other people running Trifecta tunes, this does not mean you need to start worrying and so on and so forth... If you choose to run very high boost, you know the risks involved...regardless of who makes the tune, as stated earlier. But as Cardelino said himself, the tune wasn't the direct cause. The more aggressive the tune, the more fatigue will play a role on parts... you have to pay to play.
