NO.. this cant be, blew up the cavy *pics*
My own ------- fault. I should have known. It was almost like someone was telling me to let off the gas and I wouldn't. Tonight I disabled my 110mph speed limiter and decided to take a decent rip. Decent enough up to 135mph. Yea after I just read that post about boosting in 5th. I don't know WHAT the ---- I was thinking. Coming up a highway hill on 10psi going 135mph. Then it happened. A sudden pop, then parts falling everywhere for the next 1/2 mile or so as the car stopped running. Oil, smoke everywhere. Somehow I was able to roll into hooter's parking lot just off the highway. I am really in shock right now. I still don't think I know what happened. So far I see that the oil return line is no longer on the turbo. The oil pan is cracked in at least one place with a rod hanging halfway out. Thats in the front of the pan. I can only imagine what the rear looks like. Oil covering the back of my car, oil everywhere as i'm sure you can imagine. ---- ---- ---- ----, i'm an idiot. what was I thinking? I have no idea. Just went to josh's and pulled him out of bed to chat about it. I think i'm just gonna snag a junkyard motor depending on what the damage is like. Build that with pistons and rods and lay low at 300whp or so. Well the towtruck just brought me home and my friend took some pictures, so i'll post those up in a few. ----... 
Rip baby
Rip baby
Use this oppertunity to build a better setup. Look at the bright side, you did enjoy it while it last and you have a few kills under your belt.

after reading the boosting in fifth thread...lol ...more than likely you spun a rod bearing... i would put a pretty penny on that ... some sort of oil starvation ..built up pressure that why it blew the sending unit out of the back of the block

Re: NO.. this cant be, blew up the cavy *pics*
That was one quick Cavy. Sorry to see it go. Don't be too hard on yourself though. Atleast YOU blew it up and not poor tuning or WG failure or something. You can brag this way. :P Anyway, time to build the block and blow some big steam. You plan on staying with the 2.4L? I hope so. Anyway, I thought this was funny....."...lay low at 300whp or so..." LOL. Low to who? Good luck man.
