Dang, now I don't know if I want to turbo my engine now. LOL, but it is good you get to upgrade, that is always a good thing!

 

It's no different then any other part of a car that "could" fail. You could throw a rod and all is over.

 

Yeah I know, I was just joking when I said that.

 

What has Sam done to his hood there? Is that heat risers and deer whistles?

 

Ha Ha, deer whistles.... Thats funny, considering how small the deer back east are..

The vents are in fact that, heat risers, this 800 WHP engine generates tremendous engine bay heat. The hood pins are a newer style, designed to fit flush with the adjacent hood surfaces when colsed and secured.

 

i am glad it didnt act like a granade when it died. i am really glad it didnt i have heared horror stories about super chargers and turbos on the really bad end it blew them selfs apart and peaces got shuved in the engine. i am glad it didnt do it and was able to keep its self together when it didnt want to spool.sad it went glad it didnt take the engine with it. i am glad it also didnt dump oil every where and started a oil fire as well. bright side you know what to get to me a little better. sorry if it was sooner than later. what i mean get all the bugs out with the setup and go with a bigger one.

 

I hear you!! Now that the seriousness of the whole thing has set in, I could have very well lost a motor. What Matt told me now that the turbo has been pulled off is something went out the exhaust side of the turbo and bent the wheel shaft and into the CAT... Now we just have to find out what that something was and where it came from... Your right it could have been very ugly..........

 

Dang, sucks that the turbo went out, expecting any better numbers with the new turbo?
