Oh hey guise :action-smiley-069:

Just a suggestion but the tuner could have set rev limit to hard cut at 2000 which would have made it easier to diagnose

They may have done this, I'm not sure how they found it in the end, I went in to give them a hand on Friday and they had already found the problem and sorted it out. Just kept me in the dark about it, they must like suspense almost as much as me ;)

I'll post pictures hopefully later today guys, pictures are worth a thousand words...

Well... Sort of. Not really. I can't for the life of me understand what happened. I certainly didn't do it. But I can't see how my workshop would have done it either.

Will make more sense when I post photos. Which I can't do yet because I haven't got the car back yet :glare:

Explain the hole. Could this have damaged a valve or stick a valve open?

Possibly, I imagine when you shatter a cast alloy manifold like that there will be some debris. But I don't know which cylinder the valve problem is on, if it is only cylinder 1 then I imagine the shattered manifold was the cause.

I'm just waiting for my tuner to add up how much I owe them and then I'm going in to get the car home, so I'll post photos in a few hours.

IE could it have created debris that the motor could have ingested on its maiden limiter bash?

Again, quite possible. Thing is, I would expect that shards of cast alloy getting stuck in the valve guides would cause more of a permanent problem than just on full load power runs, ie. bent valves?

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
