Wow... of all the times i said "be careful" and "watch what you do" and "you'll need a programmable engine management system to run the kind of boost levels you want to run" and when you wouldnt take any advise and say you knew it all........ 
 
I would like to say:
 
I'lI told you so.  Good luck selling it. 
 
P.S.  A 40 degree drop in intake temps really isnt much - i have helped a friend build a turbo/AWD eclipse that runs very low 12's on street tires and full interior and full street trim on pump gas, with 21psi - and his intake temps are never more than a few degrees above ambient temp.

Subject: [SPOC] Turbo Kit Forsale

I am selling my custom turbo kit. I have used this Turbo Setup for a year now and now I KILLED my ENGINE. I am selling this setup because i no longer have th money to mess with cars anymore. I LOVE this setup but the problems STARTED WHEN I GOT GREEDY WITH THE BOOST CONTROLLER. Well to make this short, I wanted more boost so i turned up the boost seloniod to open at 12 pounds and SURE enough when i held on the gas i melted #2 & #4 pistons. I even had 8.3:1 compression in it.
I will list a few things that will come in the setup.
2 IHI RHB5 T25 watercooled turbos WITH INTERNAL WASTEGATE (ONE WITH A COMPRESSOR UPGRADE 30,000 miles) other with 80K on it. BOTH IN EXCELENT CONDITON & polished housings
1 TURBO XS BOV
1 CUSTOM SATURN MANIFOLD & DOWNPIPE
1 SDS EIC CONTROLLER WITH EXTRA INJECTORS WELDED IN PLACE
4 TURBO SILICONE HOSE CONECTORS RATED AT 550 DEGRESS  (BLUE)
1 SAAB BLACKSTONE INTERCOOLER 2.5" INLET AND OUTLET (WORKS VERY WELL, NOTICED A 40 DEGREE DROP IN INTAKE TEMP)
1 BRAIDED STAINLESS STEEL OIL FEED LINE WITH ALL CONECTORS FOR BLOCK
1 OIL DRAIN WITH ELBOWS AND COMES WITH BRAIDED STAINLESS LINE AND 1" THICK SILICONE LINE (I SWITCHED TO SILICONE BECAUSE IT WAS LARGER.
1 OIL PAN AND FITTING WELDED IN PLACE (MINOR TRIMING TO ALUMINUM EXHAUST PLATE REQUIRED TO CLEAR FITTING)
1 K&N AIR FILTER
2 2.5 INTERCOOLER PIPES.
1 BATTERY RELOCATING BOX
1 ELECTRONIC HIGH & LOW ADJUSTABLE BOOST SWITCH
2 AUTOMETER BOOST AND AIR FUEL PODS
I AM ASKING $2,800 FOR EVERYTHING. I ALSO HAVE ANOTHER ENGINE THAT WAS JUST REBUILT TO 8.3:1 COMPRESSION THAT NEEDS 2 PISTONS. IT WAS PORTED&POLISHED WITH ALL NEW VALVE SEALS PISTONS (JUNK NOW) RINGS RODS. ALL ARE FACTORY BUT PISTONS ARE SOHC PISTONS. EVERYTHING WAS BALANCED.
BLUE POWDER COATED CAM COVER.
SPS TB
NOLOGY HOTWIRES
PORTMATCHED INTAKE MANIFOLD
MAKE AN OFFER ON ANYTHING CAUSE IT IS ALL GOING AND SO IS THE SATURN, I AM ALSO SELLING THE HOOD AND FRONT BUMPER AND LIGHTS. MAKE SOME OFFERS
