Default They got my motor out in a day...

That was pretty fast, lol. I just shipped it last night and today i stopped by after work and they already pulled the motor...



There was a little play in the exhaust wheel of the turbo so theyre gonna send it in to get inspected... Hopefully its nothing too bad, but tommorow they should be pulling the motor apart so Im crossing my fingers that its only a piston or two thats fucked...

Wish me luck

P.S. sorry for the quality, it was taken with my camera phone, lol.

Got detonation?

That looks expensive. Do you have a scan gage or anything in your car to let you know when you are detonating? I've got an aeroforcetech gage and love it. Saved me several times.

Race gas is cheap in comparison to that.

Good Luck,

Thanks man. Depending on the damage done I might end up selling it and getting a smaller turbo... My fuel (inj's) are only good enough to support low/mid 900's rwhp so im thinking ill have a 10 psi and 15/16 psi setting so I can make it a more reliable setup. Plus ill have more room in between the turbo and radiator to keep everything cool...

The head/s can be fixed. 16psi and 91 is a bad combo but you know that now. Hopefully you will be back up soon. At least you are missing the hot part of the year.

Lol, I know, last time I had over heating issues I sent it back during the summer time too...

Should I take Bubb Rubb's advice and put his exhuast on?
