Other than that I don't know what else can cause it to rev that high. It hit 7k a few times before refilling the tranny so the damage could have already been done and the boost just finished it off. When I get in the car I drive it like I stole it. So I am not going to blame anyone. I am really just looking for suggestions as to what to check or look at before I put it to the floor again after the rebuild
Maybe you also lost a gear? When mine broke I was on manual mode in 4th gear rpms at around 5500. I switched to drive mode and for some reason the transmission downshifted to 3rd which caused the rpms to spike up 8k. Motor was never the same. Just my experience.
