Default upping the boost..NEED ADVICE,running issues.

this may sound stupid but a mate of mine has been doing up his cossie,he had it back out on the road today and has turned the boost up 24psi i think before this it used to chatter lovely,but now it still does but has more grunt sort of 'thud' noise at the end when giving it death..just curious if upping the boost has any realation to the change in sound...cheers.

if he's upped the boost without putting it on the rollers and adjusting the air/fuel mixture it will go bang,it wont take long either,my mate blew his rs turbo engine in 4miles after messing with the boost

rite..was out in my mates cossie earlier and it all seems to run fine untill its midway thru boost it just sounds as if its 'cloggd up' and a droning noise till u come off the accelarator..no power loss as such but on occasions the rev needle from 4k revs just shoots off the limiter..any ideas???
