Well, it was what I suspected + a screw-up of my own. The Meth pump didn't run. The wire going pump indicating light got penched and the insulation just took some time before it wore through and shorted out. If you guys remember I was running ~13psi boost and 31* timing and lots of 100% meth. I was totally dependent on the meth above 8psi. I have an indicating light on the guage pillar for when the meth pump runs, when it detonated I couldn't recall seeing it on but wasn't looking at it close enough to tell and I was driving into the sun which made it hard to see. I think I may put a buzzer on it if it doesn't run now. I had the low octane table only 2 degrees less than the high octane and that was not conservative enough. Well, if you are going to push it as hard as I did you will pay to play!
Now you guys learn from my mistakes and be a little more conservative with the low octane table at least. But depending so much on the meth is kinda like depending on an electric pump to supply oil back to your engine.

Now before you butt turbo boys start posting up that you haven't had any problems with yours, you may want to phrase it like " I haven't had any issues with mine YET."

I haven't finished the console due to other issues taking priority. I am supposed to have all the parts on the way (used) just haven't checked on them. I need to get a custom boot made too.
