No problem, very cool the stuff your willing to try and do.. so keep it up.
It sounds like (without seeing it) you have unequal pressure in the carbs. Make sure all float bowl vent tubes are ran and sealed to your air inlet box. Add a tube over the slide of the carb also. The carbs have to feel the same pressure all the way around it, not just in the bell mouth. The I use a "pop off" checker to make sure the needle and seat hold pressure i'm looking for (18~20 lb)
The air to air cooler only really helps if your making run after run. First run even without a intercooler rocks. So get everything set then go after a cooler.
The pistons had updates on the 600's. I use forged pistons. Not sure if 10K on turbo is normal, but they seem to hold up fine.
I've never seen a aerochager blow anything up. People blow things up. The aerochager just stops spining when the shaft / bearing goes out. It cant push or suck parts in the motor
