Why would a customer service rep for Magnuson tell you someone with their product had a motor explode?

Good Question! Dont remember the exact word he used but he said it went pop, bang, or boom! Definitely scared me off my plans of adding a little more boost but may try anyways.

He did not say using the product would blow up a motor, he said that in testing 5-7 psi proved to be the most dependable on a stock motor and anything more than that could cause premature failure.

I am pretty sure he said you would blow it up


Again, if you would like a smaller pulley....call and order it for 90.00. I always equate it to providing someone with enough rope.........

That us usually what I say, not that everyone is going to blow up their motor.....but 99% of the people that call are not equipped to calibrate the PCM properly for the added boost.

I have a 3.0 pulley for sale if you have any interest. I'm asking 85 shipped so it will save you $5 plus the shipping from Magnuson.

header's will help your engine breathe out better, where the tvs is helping it breathe in. all that extra air has to go somewhere.

i agree with what everyone else is saying. if you pulley down, definitely re-tune, and don't go above 5-7 lbs of boost on a stock bottom end. it has been done before, successfully, but some engines can handle more than others. to err on the safe side, stick with what the manufacturer says

yeah you can only add so much boost but if the tune is off...BOOM is correct
