What was he doing running 17 psi on a T-25? It's just pushing hot air at that point. There is a reason that the mitsu crowd calls it a T-too small. You really oughtta look into upgrading to a T-28. Flows more air and will give you much cooler air at 17 psi which will lessen the chance of detonation. Sorry to hear about your motor.

And someone above me pointed out the 17psi on a T-25 vs 10 on T3/T4 thing. There is not more are at 10 psi, that is a huge difference there is more oxygen at 17 psi on a t3/t4 at 17 than a T-25 at 17 because of the temperature. PV=nRT
Pressure x Volume = number of moles x R (gas constant) x Temperature. If you want a lengthy description I can give one or dig up a link to one.
