I fear that I may have blown my turbo or perhaps even more (what i've been told) :) happened while i gave the car a bit of hit, took it to about 6k then all i could hear was a high pitched humming sound. continued to drive normally, then heard it again when ever the turbo would spool. doesn't boost at all. when i do accelerate, the high pitched humming sounds rises in pitch with the engine, sounds very annoying. symptons of a blown turbo or even more damage? sound is definitely comming from the air filter.

mods:

3" exhaust turbo - back

pod filter

stock turbo boosted @ 10-12 psi (just hits 12psi and comes down to 11/10)

walbro 500hp fuel pump

was dyno'd making 190rwkw.

all opinions much appreciated.

If u like lag in most cases :nyaanyaa:

The fact it don't make boost but still drives through those rpms as well as the squeeling (rooted intake/zorst wheel) would indicate its a turbo problem and nothing to worry about too much. Go get it checked by someone and just drive very easy off boost

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
