dude know you facts before you say this! you know here we only had 1 07 blow and that was due to the tuner! also most of the guys that "blow" there **** up is due to modding and not tuning or an aggressive tune.... they try to say the car is "stock" but yet the have a dp/exhaust.... last time i checked that aint stock.

and for those of you who think a dp isn't bad it is with no tune!! it causes boost creep, since there is now more airflow that is flowing after the Maf and threw the motor and since there is now more airflow leaving the motor but yet the intake isn't picking this up the maf is not adding fuel to compensate for the extra flow of air. with this you will lean out and have boost creep
