death of the D15 turbo

over the winter i decided to bump the boost to 15 psi. added the injectors and did all the right tuning. no detonation at all. pulled like a train...for a little while. pulling into the driveway i noticed there was a rough idle and anslight tapping noise. to make a long story short...... four bent connecting rods! guess i'll make that B20Z swap now.

probably a combination of the last two replies is the right answer. with no traction in first OR second did a little 14.8 at 100mph. crappy time but good mph
