    I’ve had my 17T turbos for well over a year now. If you install them carefully and inspect then before doing so then they should be fine. I’ve had Ken at wedge performance tweaking the tube gradually over a long period and it just keeps getting stronger and stronger.

      OTS v5 e40 is more aggressive than most custom tunes. With a stock tmap v5 e40 will run 26/27psi on 17ts and the dme will never know.

I'm currently in Mexico on vacation, so I'm taking time out of my vacation to help if you still need assistance. One thing that shocked me was the fact you were on a stock LPFP as that would have been a required up for me to tune your hybrids. So my assumption is your rail pressure was crashing and the car would run out lean. Hopefully the LP upgrade fixed that issue as starving the HPFP like that can damage the pump when it starts to cavitate.
