I wonder what gear he made it to.
if he had no management he wasnt makin any power...the ecu would throw no fuel into it ...
This guy wins the a hole of the year award...esp since he cranked it to 16 psi lmao

A Short Block Does with Labor and Install he needs a longblock this this is TOAST like paul said and i think the only way he made a little bit of power is with that stupid velocity stack maf adapter crap they have with that treadstone kit crock of crap if i say so tuning a car of a maf adapter and no engine management. Too many variables and bases not covered with out engine management.
This is the best one I've seen yet, had the F/IC but didn't install it...boom. and 16 psi?
rofl I bet it never reached 16 psi.

I'm installing my Turbo kit next week. I had no clue about Force Induction, I have been on Scion Life for about 6 months and learned A LOT before I actually decided to boost.
Just wanted to thank everyone on the forums
. As for the blown motor "ouch" no management come on now. He should have known better.

how old is this guy? did his parents buy him the car?
if this is his first car, this is why you shouldn't buy a new car for an inexperienced person.. why? look above, plus learn on an old car, you screw it up, you're not out much $$$

Actually hes 29 and has a kid but makes bank and if he wanted to he could drop on a new motor tomorrow and he said he's just gonna fix her and sell her and buy something more "family oriented" such as a minivan he's wife is pregnant again with there second and he said its time to grow up and start taking care of his kids

Yeah it is a real long time for that motor to survive i think it was because the treadstone kit only has 440cc injectors and that velocity stack MAF adapter and plus i took his ecu to work with me and did the TRD Reflash with the 440cc injectors. Obiviously the reflash isnt enough and that is my only guess to how he survived that long

But then again I think they were on stock fuel injectors. Not too sure, since I never got a zpi kit.
With bigger injectors, the car might be able to idle. Really rich but idle. It all depends on the size of the injectors, and the latency, blah blah blah.
