Second. Have the "pro shop" that set your boost to 29psi buy you a new motor. Of course it blew up at low rpm in 5th. I'm surprised it lasted that long.
Stock turbo will handle 34psi? 29 was peak. I wish it was a joke. I was crusing in 5th gear when it blew. The shop tuned 30+ evo x's and countless evos. I will scan the dyno and upload it.
29psi on the stock turbo is pointless. It's not efficient past 26psi so you're just straining your internals without gaining any power. Bad tuner, bad!
Why on earth were you in 5th at 45mph? That's like 1500rpm isn't it? Have you ever looked at your engine load when you accelerate from low RPMs in 5th? They're sky high, and they stay there forever since you don't accelerate quickly. That can cause you to throw a rod even on a 100% stock setup.
Sorry, but it seems like you've done everything wrong

not trying to be harsh. he asked why he blew it, i answered the question. nothing anyone can say will fix the motor. may as well give him some useful info so he doesn't rebuild and have the same problem again

2 main things.
-29psi
-that much load on your engine at such a low rpm not to mention your boost probably spiking to 29psi.
Think of it like this, your on a 24 speed mt bike, and try to start off in the 24th speed. Think about how much strain is on your chain. Very similar affect is what happend to your rods.
