WOW, sorry to see that man. More information, as you get it, would be much appreciated. Hopefully you'll be back on the road soon.

I got a 12.9 @ 117, spun first, 2nd and a bit of third, but when i shifted to fourth, it detonated, i let off, and still got a 12.9

then, on the 2nd run, the burnout was different for some reason (vacum line was cracked by then), the blow off was way too long and loud. meaning, I must have peaked boost on 1st when burning out, then right on the end of 2nd the wideband showed 14.5 lol, and 20+ psi and rising, then I panic and as soon as I let off the gas, boom.... cloud of smoke....... pieces hitting track floor.....

Temperature was 39 or 40+ I believe, I noticed this morning when removing the engine that the vacum line from the turbo to wastegate was cracked right open, that caused the 20+ psi.

Guys for now, I'm putting a stock engine in, and this blown one is going to get blasted with goodies... Will post more info when the pain passes...

Possible on the Vac line , But wonder whether the line may have blown after the fact.
The pain will soon pass and turn into exileration !!!

Iv been an advocate for yrs as far as using Stainless Steel, teflon inner tube lines on EVERYTHING. Nice to know that a weak link will be eliminated for the life of the engine.
