Boost spike with FMU
Today I had a pretty good sized boost pike up to 10psi, on my stock internal, 12:1 Vortech FMUed LS. I was watching the boost gauge AS this was happening, and it was only up there for a very very short amount of time, as I took my foot off the throttle as soon as it above 8 (but being human, my reaction time let it go up further to 10). The Fuel In line for the FMU didn't have anything to clamp it down (I ran out of clamps during the install, wasing planing to put them on today), and it blew off. The car seems to be perfectly fine, I haven't noticed anything wrong it with (other then the results of not having a fuel return line, which I obviously fixed immediatly).
What are the odds that something is really damaged? I'm a little about the injectors, but forunately, everything SEEMS to be fine. Any thoughts, or ideas about what I should keep an eye/ear on?

Re: Boost spike with FMU (johnisenglish)
Knowing the nature of the FMU I doubt anything was harmed. How'd the spike happen? Hope it's alright there.
edit: Maybe check your plugs that's about all that I could think of going foul or breaking. IMO

Vacuum line to the wastegate blew off
The barb fitting I'm using is pretty wimpy. I clamped it down now, so it shouldn't come off again
