MORE HELP W/THE BOOST

I took the bike out tonight,on the street,and tried to get use to the boost.First stage is cool,not too much power,but fun,hit the button for the second stage and all hell breaks loose,fuckin thing pulls,spins the air'd down new shinko at the top of every low gear,and even 4th-this bike pulled HARD!Fun,but into the limiter quite a few times(spinning at the top,it just reved so fast anywhere near the red line that I just couldn't shift fast enough.The idle got rough after a few times until finally,it couldn't hold an idle,evryone who was w/me said I trashed a plug or two(hopefully that's it).Situation one,my boost gauge has a"tell tale"from the last time it boosted after each run,one of the runs had the gage reading 35 lbs of boost!! #2,my exuast temp guage goes up to 15,and it was always reading over 12 or 13 when just cruising at 60 mph in 6th on the freeway.A freind who is somewhat familiar w/the bike says thats bad,and since it's a blowthrough system,it can't cruise on the freeway.The engine temp guage was fine during this time,so how can it lean out,or hurt the motor by cruising at 60 mph at 3500 rpm??I will check the plugs tomarrow night(I'm sure they are trashed).Turbo experts,I need some help!!

get rid of that crap you call a computer and buy a real setup so we can tune that bitch......its probably lean as hell or something. Your gonna pop head gaskets and enter a world of shit if you dont get this fuel sorted out first Joey....

Plugs were fine,changed them anyway,still runs rough,hard to hold and idle,also,doesn't boost as high anymore and really only runs smooth whem it hits the boost,otherwise,the bike is harder then hell to ride just cruising around.I think I bent a valve or hurt something already.
