Where it cracked indicates the possibility of any three.
very true it could be any of that. it can also be owner issue with to much backpressure. granted its probably a combination of things. and KB said he would take care of it.

Its the one that came with the kit from KB. Im not pointing fingers, I contacted Kyle to see what he thought about the break, he said it was too much boost. Im turbo kit ignorant, im still learning. Im not saying what caused it, I know it broke now twice, and I know I need to make it stronger to last under what power levels Im wanting. any suggestions on what I should run? this was never meant to bash Kyle what so ever.....

i wonder with your trans not allowig you to shift at high rpms and the motor seeing more exccessive pressure cause it cant flow as it needs to since the shifting is held up some. Make sense? in the end it happend, its odd but least its a learing curve
