3000 rpm, erm, doesnt sound a whole lot? Am I missing something there, or was that a typo?

3000rpm accelarting + cold night = boost spike could well have broke a tip but could also be a many number of things. Need more details really.

Sounds like mine when I blew a tip. They do tend to go anywhere from 40k onwards sometimes before if your unlucky or running crazy boost:burnout. I hope for your sake it\'s not!!!!!! Just check all the pipes you can (easier said than done on twins).

Yes it sounds like a tip, but it also sounds like the same symptoms of when the pipe comes off the MAP sensor, so as Gary says, check that first.
