I am not claiming that this is the cause of the OP's problem, but it is a high probability or possibility. Can people at least admit that this may have been a contributor due to the unknown's of this engine?
As for me, this is one of the last upgrades I would ever install on any car unless it is designed correctly and still includes a harmonic balancer/vibration damper like higher cost lightweight pulleys do.

Maybe there's some mechanical engineer that could chime in. I'm sure the pulley would change the engine's resonance frequency, to the point of self-destructing? I would think the boxer's balanced design wouldn't be able to self destruct in this way, but I'm not an expert.
