Blown Head Gasket
Just had to get my SS towed in.While getting on the Interstate I got on it and the boost went into the twentys and blew a head gasket.At least I think it did.I'm still waiting for a call from the dealer.

Stock!!Although my boost always seemed to run up quicker than the RPM.
Alread had one hose that connects the intercooler to the turbo replaced.

That is not good. But unless you did something "bad" it should be covered under warranty.

Miles?

WOW, so little miles. Probably just a bad gasket seat to begin with.

Got 7300 miles on mine. Sorry to hear of the problem. Knock on wood that it isn't catching.
