It looks like it lost the corner of a apex seal or sucked somthing in that put a nice gouge threw the lower part of the housing.. It's blown, but not bad... I on the other hand wiped out both rotors on my engine and still drove it home with huge gouges in both housings and nice apex seal dents in the rotors.. I had a MASSIVE vibration going on and I felt all nice and massaged when I got home 30 min later..



The new engine with a bigger port than before goes in the car in about 12 hrs from now...

I pull -400 vacuum at 950 to1000 rpms of idle. The car starts right up and never had any problems, but the gouges are definitely a sign of a blown engine. Most blown engine's run like CRAP, and can't pull vacuum for ****. I thought it was running so bad because of the blown turbo's, but it's the engine.

I'll get pics of mine AND Dragon's car. His car exploded on him(both rotors and probably both housings) went to ****. His exploded because he was running low on gas and the pickups started picking up AIR instead of fuel.

I was on it when it shitted.. I did a little vrrrrraaaaapp.. in first and it sucked air and **** both rotors at once... Then new engine is in the car right now, but I'm waiting on a part to overhaul the turbo since it sucked a few big pieces of apex seal threw the P trim exaust wheel... The car will be completly together and running by the end of today.....



We'll get some dead engine pics for you though...
