Message	as well, but unfortunately I hadn't reached that point. I really didn't think anything could happen since I was barely exceeding the amount of boost I had been able to run on pump gas (18psi). Also, I believe it was unleaded, but I suppose i could be mistaken there. I suppose that specific injector could have been near failure to begin with (although they had all ohm'd out at 11.5-12 a couple months prior), but I'll never know at this point. Just have to chalk it up as a lesson learned, take the experience and move on more cautiously from this point on.
