 I installed an aftermarket pulley which was building the boost really
 quickly...ran really good too...but fried the blower within the first 2
 miles of operation.
 
 I'm leaving it at this for now until I can talk with the person who sold me
 the pulley. Need to investigate this more before saying anything else. >>

Bernd,

          This is a great reason to try an external wastegate. I'm running a
12# pulley, but I limit boost to 10 psi. Hits harder on the bottom and mid
(7psi is available at 3000 rpms) and this showed on the dyno (425 pft to the
rear wheels)
