You got me all wrong man. I've been many times. Just not 2 1/2 hours away from home. Best I've ever run was 12.9 at 111. That was about 1 1/2 years ago though.
You just wait
You just wait
But I'll be waiting. You'll buy some DVD player for your Geeride before you ever get a turbo the way your going lately.

Ok I took it apart to day and the rear stationary bearing was toast, also killing the e-shaft in the process. All 3 apex seals on the rear rotor were blown right in the center on the seal. Cause alot of damage to the rotor and rotor housing, but nothing else. I was expecting much worse. I don't know why the bearing got ate up, oil starvation? Everything was done to spec,
So here is the question: If timing was mess up as IGY stated would it kill all 3 apex seals? Or did one just take out the rest? I think the engine died at peak torque, would a bad stationary gear cause all the apex seals to go?
I will post some pictures of the beat up e-shaft, rotor and bearing.
Anyone have some FD rotors or Zenki FC rotors they want to get rid of???

Really odd that the rear stationary gear bearing let go...I've only seen 2 bearings go and both were fronts.
Todd, what boost do you want to eventually run? I'm sure you could convince IGY to send you a map.
