We see it time and time again the end results of adding high priced boost to stock C5/C6 engines.

Vendors love to see them, they do not want to warranty the damage boost causes to a powertrain and many do not tell customers what the far side can be

Here is just a few images of end results of using boost on a stock C5/C6 and it will happen to most sooner or later

Caution : clicking on the URL below could make you cry or puke

Click on engine engine to see full image and clicking images moves from one image to another

BOOM !

How much boost?

My microscopic 5 PSI was enough to burn a stock automatic transmission. The PCM was programmed with increased (double!) Upshift Torque Reduction than stock just to save the transmission, but it didn't help.
