tooquicktostop Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Exactly what happened to mine, after just 1000 miles, went single to NA in a second, turned out to be shot bearings, rebuild was required, Jurgen has a good contact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branners Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I'm pretty sure you were warned not to do full throttle flameouts with the car standing still. Infact I posted saying that the last 2 people that did that both lost their engines. IT REALLY DOESNT DO THE CAR ANY GOOD The rev limiter is there as a warning, not a goal. I would suggest oil starvation to the turbo combined with lack of cooling has done the bearings. Did you perhaps do a few flameouts during the tunnel run on the weekend?

Branners Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 At Santa Pod you bounced the car off the limiter for a good few minutes. I know how the flamer kits work, but they need fuel to work and the 'best' way to get that much overfuel is to hit the limiter a few times and then back straight off and hit the switch. To be honest it was a matter of time before something let go. You may be lucky to only find the turbo shot and it could be completely unrelated to the flamer kit, overfuelling and using the rev limiter, but my advice is to bin the flamer kit and dont rev the car hard from a standstill.

Guest atheuma Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Hey mate sorry to hear bout your turbo.... Came across this thread on this forum .. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=199678&page=2 Thought maybe you can buy his turbo since he has got a P61 but is thinking of getting a bigger turbo.....he might sell....and dont go on warming the car with too many procedures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I was probably a touch harsh so sorry about that. I hope you get the car back together fairly quickly, and do take on board the advice, it would be a shame for you to lose the whole engine as well as the turbo.
