It eventually slowed to a stop for me to realize I blew my rings lol... Not the best of days - I feel for ya.
It's supercharged so it really can't overboost. I did check the bypass valve and it appeared to be working fine. It's weird that it happened under vacuum, but I guess I must've weakened something during the event and it gave up the ghost on the way home.

It sucks that I'm going to have to wait a couple weeks before I know where that oil came from.
