MADDUB 0 Posted January 25, 2004 hm ant to sure who will pay yet but i think it will be me :( and i think it may have some thing to do with the intercooler to small and got to hot air temp with to much fuel and bang :x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 27, 2004 Stealth had a 400bhp 1.8t lump on his bench when I was there last......I got the impression he wasn't expecting it to last long! How come you holed a piston off boost? Mechanical cloutage perhaps? I thought you only blow holes in pistons on FI engines when the mixture severly leans off or if it over advances? Very unusual....
