I know this is a BMW forum and yes over modding a car isn't BMW's fault nor should BMW honor a warranty over this issue but let's not be so quick to let BMW off the hook. People up the boost on stock turbos all the time - although if he boosted it up to 16psi that's usually too much...

I would agree, the issue here is he was WELL OVER what is safe. He even admits this in his forum and accept full responsibility.

BMW is not having mass stock or slightly modded turbo issue. The parts aren't crappy. If they were I'd be the first in line bitching.
