Default STi kill!!!

About 3 months ago before my VR-4 seized from overboosting, I was driving up to the stoplight right before a road nicknamed "5 mile"(where everyone likes to race) and there was to my amazement a Subaru WRX STi stopped. Needless to say I was very happy because I just got my new Twin T3/T4 turbo upgrade and I was running about 17p.s.i(overboosting) and I wanted to test my car out but I never could have imagined that I would get to test the car on a STi! So I pull up to the light amd start reving my engine(beautiful blow off noise) and he replies with the reving of his own engine, by this time I am very excited to see how my car was going to perform. Then the light turns green and we are off he takes me off the line but when I reach about 3rd gear I am already head to head with this guy, I shift to 4th and I start pulling ahead and I just start smiling I hit redline then shift to 5th still pulling I am about one car length ahead of this guy now and I am feeling pretty secure when the STi upshifts to 6th and does a lunge forward so his front is about in the middle of my car so I also retaliate with my 6th and then I pull further ahead so his front bumper is right about lined up with my rear. Then I see the stoplight and start slowing down and he does the same. When we both get to the light I roll down my passenger window and he rolls down his drivers side window and we both smile and give a thumbs up. I was so happy I won!!! Then the next day I set the boost to 15 p.s.i and I was just driving normally when the car makes a noise and a cloud of black smoke comes out of my tail pipe and well that was the end of my 3000[:@]
