I am surmising that the person who blew up there motor was over boosting with low octane fuel. The 2.4 Ecotec will let you know about this in the form of very audible knock. My advice for those who are boosted is listen to your motor. If you hear knock turn down the boost or find better gas.

Maybe he put more like 30k on it.

My motor is holding up perfectly with the DDM setup. I beat the crap out of my car, and anyone that knows me knows this.
