you should check if it was something wrong on the isntall or the tune or if the kit came defective anyways check GReddy's warranty because if it was something wrong in the kit you should make a claim. But if you changed the pre-tune that comes with it maybe you exceeded the limit that the kit and engine can stand and its your fault anyways go to a mechanic or something to get it checked out.

Hope you get this solved soon.

nope the engine is on you sorry to tell ya. No turbo company will replace the motor it was put on unless your wastegate spring was about two steps up from what it should be...

Take some pictures for us

take some english classes first, and then maybe you'll know that greddy does advertise their kit to run at 20psi... lol

were you even using a boost gauge?

Similar incident here:
https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie....php?p=1686452

No Boost Gauge or Wideband was used with the kit as well, and it popped. He has a new motor now and got it tuned and is now making great power with the Greddy kit.

i bet i know what its was how did you install the check valve that came with the kit??

it goes after the T fitting between the Brake booster. they do not include this in the instructions and if you call them they way they explain it is wrong. well i was able to replace my motor fairly cheap and the car runs great now for the last 7k miles there is nothing wrong with greddys kit just there instructions. did you have a boost guage in the car?? im guessing this was a overboost issue like mine

Wow.... Anyone who knows anything will say that we need WAY more information....

#1 - Who Wired your emanage/injectors? Pictures?
#2 - Did you ensure the proper Jumpers and settings? (It's commonly not set up correctly from the factory)
#3 - Did you have the car tuned at a professional shop? (Probably Not, but asking anyways)
#4 - Did you run a boost gauge?
#5 - Did you run a Wideband O2 Sensor?

Please have someone help you with your english, as it's hard to understand. Maybe someday we'll figure this out.
