it will be runing again soon ,, ,,,with attempting more boost too lol my aim is 25psi , and i wont give up till i hit my target ,lol , i do personly know these engines hold it , ,the power it kicked up was a right eye operner ,i had major torque steer , basicly draging the caddy left to right up the road , so thought has to be a way , so i thought i know what will work , remove the driveshafts and make them both tubiler so they can only slightly flex , did this went for a spin , and wow , totaly differnert ,,,,it grip pulled and went fine with only very light torque steer , next thing was try the 4wd system ,, and i have to say it toaly transformed the caddy , amazed ,(evern if i say so myself ,lol) ill get some pics up of the build in progress ,,

spare flywheel little rusty but feels half decent lol
give me something to ticker with and im going to leave the alloy sump on this one ,just to be safe
sorry to read you've killed the engine...... but following this thread, not suprised you've already got another delivered! 
fair play to you!!!was the fatal moment as you were turning left at the 1st roundabout in the vid?
that was a hell of a bang/clunk......
yearh sound a lot worse then in the video , and found that was the dual mass that was on its least legs ,

bit of gernal stripping checking this after to make sure the engine is in decent , i was actury suprized when i removed the sump , very clean in there,
checked all the shells mains and oil pump
next rocker and clyinder head removed
checked the bores and there no lips at all nice clean smooth bores is always a good sign
also decieded i thought id treat myself to a new steel single mass flywheel to do away with all that dual mass crap
just finshing off the homemade headspacer , saves removing other too

easy lol draw around a size bigger headgasket .i.e r32 golf which are 84mm bores , when i cut it out with the plazma cutter it leaves the bore holes to 82mm spot on the correct size , for my lump ,,

Dude! Epic! Fair shout for custom making everything! There's getting mods done, then there's making mods! 
Good luck with the Caddy - what a beast when you get it done!
Will you not need a bigger intercooler for that sort of power?
