Could be leaking out of the intake manifold middle gasket... looks like that has pushed out the side a little bit...

Either way, shutup I want a new turbo

yeh that happened to my brother twice i think

if its pushed out, prob is that

[Odium]

Gasket leak could explain the noise, also the detonation I was getting on the track...

If it's leaking out boost, the turbo will be running harder to maintain the set pressure (16psi) and thus getting hotter and hotter... Right?

Would it also throw off the mixtures since the AFM is reading different to what is actually entering the engine? (though, in this case it'd be richer???) and it didn't seem to be running rich at all.

Will plug up my new Wideband on the weekend

[blah_blah]

His new SS2 variation is an option as well.

Also will be E85 tuned at the same time

Ss2 would be my pick

[blah_blah]

why not just get a 3540 off a old xr6t brah

I have a slightly modified xr6t. Too big for the street i reckon

Ss2 should do aroun ~320rwkw which is enough for the street i think

[Plattsy]

Think I killed my turbo at Sandown... It's making horrific loud scream/whine under full boost, even a week later (so it's not heat related)

Bahhh Will pull it down on the weekend and see what's up

Otherwise it's 3076R time (or similar... suggestions?)

you fitted catch can yet?

[HEKT1K]

~320rwkw..... enough...

Toby pls

[Odium]

Yeah I don't want to go extreme... Want just over 300rwkw on E85 and a nice safe tune with a heap of margin for error. I've had too many track days where I've had to limp along due to pushing the limits.

Catch can will be installed shortly as well.

Car is pretty much track only now (still driving to/from the track) so I'm not too stressed about how legal things are/look.

How much powah does your brothers car make? And on what psi? Int/ext gate and stock or highmount?

[UNR33L]

Think it was around 340 or 350ish? on e85 can't remember how much boost, he had it ext gate last time I saw him which was at least 6 months ago, low mounted.

Pretty sure the car is broken at the moment, had to borrow mums heh.

I can confirm car is brutal when it comes on boost....better tyres would have helped!

[blah_blah]

You get used to speed & power so quickly

350rwkw didnt feel that quick at Sandown last week, though it was only 2nd & 3rd gear squirts

[UNR33L]

[Rekin]

Friend got his phone pick-pocketed in vietnam. Just be mindful of what you are carrying & travel light if possible.

[Down_Shift]

I always avoid crowded place, if need be I've always got my hands in my pockets holding the stuff. Yes, that's what I do in Footscrazy because it does happen all the time there.

Are the hotels trust worthy though?

Try get a hotel with a safe in the room, and read the online reviews... yelp etc... they'll generally be the first place people complain if the staff are dodgy / dismissive of investigating thefts
