that's not true.. I knew a lot of people running GIAC xchips boosting about a bar with no problems on the turbos. The divertor valves on the other hand were known to not hold boost and also notorious for failing. Bear in mind what you read on the internet is only a small population.. Most of the turbo failures were due to idiots not cooling down the turbos before turning off the motor and not running turbo timers.

SANguru's set-up sounds pretty solid. How many psi was yours boosted?
