not sure mate i have ordered a bigger wmi nozzle from devils own which should be with me in a day or 2 and hopefully the stronger actuator i want 450 for inters with the option for another 100 plus with my cheat gas
hi bill max egt was 930 as was logging it
Niki has the car back and hopefully be able to map it with the stronger actuator if it comes in time
you were logging egt's during that 6th gear vmax run yea?
930'c post turbine (ie in your downpipe) is ~80-100'c higher in measured @ turbo intake terms.. 920'c being factory fuel dump threshold with the egt sensor in the turbo's hotside throat.
did you upgrade the mounting bolts to M10 on that manifold?
keep up these uber high egt's post turbine, and I fear you will shortly encounter issues on fixings coming loose..
If these egt's are at 370bhp level.... they will only get hotter when more is asked of it... more fuel will be required to try and keep a lid on those egt's... if more timing is poss maybe help also
Is this still running the 19psi I think you said? What was actuator pressure for the 19psi boost?

Cheers dude I love it this turbo is amazing get high power high up revs and stupid amount of torque low down
efr is defo the way to go technology is amazing Made over 420bhp on 24psi of boost still got more mapping to do
That was me being naughty was told to take it easy but couldn't resist
not getting above 750 now niki has added fuel dump and now we have changed the Wmi nozzle. I'm going for direct injection for the meth as will be better 
hi mate with high pressure actuator took it to 23 psi and made 420 bhp torque wise its crazy
can make 450 lbs ft plus easy but turned it down as not usable upgraded to tfsi coilpacks but also got plugs but they didnt fit
need to get them changed few pics below, going to fit coilovers next weekend and make my new intercooler pipes cars amazing on the road pulls and pulls getting map tweeked again in a few weeks now i ave a new wmi nozzle egt are a lot better
going to go for 450 bhp as i have an extra 100-150 available with my nitrous 
little update was at work raceway last weekend gettin some good times managed a 13.5 at 115mph and that was on a shite surface with the normal overloaded 2 spare wheels toolbox and was on to beat that time till i dropped a valve still got a 13.6 but was only 106mph pulled over and wasnt sure what was up so let car cool down then tried to turn over but could hear there was no compression so whipped a plug out and found this
on looking in inlet manifold saw this and knew was bad
got a lift back to catterick and whipped the head off to find this ;(
its also smashed the piston to bits as its bounced around the cylinder
and to top it off parts of the valve have gone through the turbo
spoke to issam at ina and hes contacted borgwarner on getting a new exhaust turbine so hope can salvage the turbo. the valves were supertech ones but guess even the uprated things can fail, was only at about 6k when happened but on now im building a new head thats agu brought a new lump so going to get that overhauled with new oil pump and bearings pissed off as cars only done 700 miles with the big turbo but life goes on

Stroker time Paul. As bob the builder says we can rebuild it
Really hope you can get a new wheel mate.
Give me a ring on tuesday evening.

Ouch gutted for you this time build it properly with uprated valves and springs this won't happen after that , also as graham says go stroker kit
Oooo carnage.

cheers graham
hope i can get wheel too if not then may go up a size with the turbo, and will call you tuesday mate, hope the trips going ok
Bloody hell mate, not seen one that bad in ages
Do you think spark plug fell apart and caused it to drop a valve or do
You think the tip was just mashed from it dropping a valve on it's own?
Either way mate, massive shame, was such a mint, well spec'd engine!

i think it was exhaust valve that snapped then decided to destroy the engine and then to top it off mess with the turbo
plugs were bosch super 4's
not cheap but im sure its the valve thats caused this, looking at weather to use the rods an pistons i have or weather i should make it a 2.1 just gutted as i spent thousands on the last engine i think it was exhaust valve that snapped then decided to destroy the engine and then to top it off mess with the turbo
plugs were bosch super 4's
what heat range plugs paul?
I would be checking exhaust back pressures
there just the standard range plugs ive started stripping the 2 heads going to get the valves fitted with new stem seals and the head skimmed if needed, i had brought some new plugs br8eix but wouldnt fit as plug socket was to thick
exhaust is 3" turbo back with tiny back box, also my egt are not going above 820 even when giving it some. just gutted as put time and money into this and this happens
Was it the spark plug at fault then? Id be wanting to find out what caused this if it was mine,
