Those boost spikes
I did the same thing on my Evo 10 when I first put the upgraded turbo on it (we were doing development work with Blouch). I Had it all tuned nice and pretty on the dyno but I had not fully dialed in the EBC. Laid into it in 4th gear at low rpm on the interstate, boost spiked to 27 - 28psi before i got out of it. 1 week latter it let go on the dyno at the rev limiter. Turns out the spike had cracked a piston, it took the week and a few dyno pulls to work a chunk loose that took out a valve.
Sorry for your loss man.
