Default My Car's Power Steering Pulley Exploding On The Dyno Ls-Fest 2013
Figured id post some LOL material, around 6500 rpm my power steering pulley decided it had enough and went grenade mode. Shrapnel went through the metal upper radiator hose as well as the radiator.

BIG THANKS TO THE GUY THAT DONATED ME A POWER STEERING PULLEY. YOUR A LIFE SAVOR.
