No wonder you keep blowing shit up on your car / having it at your boyfriends shop for " upgrades".
first time was from the oil pump failing / seized a rod and shattered it..gotta pic of it lol.. a mangled rod..broke into 3 peices somehow lolz. most common thing with the t3 motor (pump failure)
which is when i did the timing belt idler relocaation mod which eliminates that problem
second time wasnt a blow up, but damage was done cuz the machine shop assembled the pistons in backwards.. sure its a non interference engine, but when the valves dont match up with the depressions in the pistons, yeah... lol
but the machine shop fired the assembler, and covered all damages and wrote me a check for $1400 for new inconel valves, a couple aluminum rockers, a set of stainless lifters and 5 angle grind job.
third time wasnt a blow up at all.. the turbonetics t3/t4 hybrid super 50 blew its bearings out prematurely,, guess it didnt like 28psi lol
after that turbo went, i got a big and beastly holset he351cw turbo and added methanol injection to the existing build
and i got 5-6k miles on the build with zero issues so far.
edit: so technically, it only blew up once, but that was from a known factory issue. which has been eliminated now
