That's exactly what I just said!

It's in a "choked" condition. If you maintain any boost levels, for more than a few moments, the EGT's will climb like a bitch, the backpressure continues upwards, the IAT's skyrocket, and you end up with detonation, which is technically, what caused the failure.

I'm guessing about 200 hp?
