over boosting....

Is the Walbro already in? That may be what's saved it from detonating so far.
Temporary safety measures without porting the waste gate:
Retard the timing.
Remove the FCD.

I had just gutted my cats when I broke an apex seal 3 weeks later, boosting 14.
It's why I'm running a J-spec with a ported waste gate now.

Do yourself a favor and stop boosting until you get some fuel mods. Even with a fcd and a walbro I still wouldnt boost near 15psi.
