2. Metallic36 - 80,000 miles
3. Lowr3y - 34,688 miles 6.5psi

Holy, you blew it at 34k miles on stock boost? How in the hell. Our engines are seriously that retarded?

 

[lowr3y]

Probly not, i bout the car with 33,800ish on it, and i would guess that the car was overboosted once or twice... i had really bad fuel cut or some s*** on the interstate... sent the number one rod THREW the cylinder and DESTROYED! the ****** engine... Water jacket was cracked from top to bottom, bent the crank snapped the rod bolt on one side and spun the rod bearing(s) so bad that the two halves were stacked on top of one another... the head was still good though cause the top ring land and above of the piston broke off and wedged itself in the giant hole in the cylinder wall (water jacket hole)

My dreams of a MSP were smashed pretty fast

OH and my LSD also went right around the same time... 34,525 miles

its all fixed now, and i have put some miles on it since then... 38,600ish?
I should give a nice thanks to ken @ protegegarage.com for the great prices on a longblock! very helpful when i asked questions! keep up the good work PG!

[lowr3y]

2.0t03speed, i thought u had a built engine already...
i know u are in close with rich (505zoom) about the new intake mani, so i guess i just assumed u had a built car, btw i love the look of your car! that drop is ****** sexy! what u got for a setup?

 

[2.0t03speed]

nah no way im in the middle of a big ass build. allready have the bottom end,gasket matched head,twiggy cams, and some other stuff im waiting on the intake mani,my transmission and some of my turbo s*** before i slap it all together tho im about 60% done with the build

 

[2.0t03speed]
