EEEEKKKKK 16 psi on stock s4 turbo?! Please dont say TMIC. :( If so I'm pretty sure ..that's why it blew. The stock turbo is only good for 10ish psi with stock TMIC (read top mount interheater). I wonder what power you were putting out right before it blew though. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.gif



30 days. I am counting down. I can't wait to hear/see some numbers!



I had 160K miles on the motor. So yeah it was time. When it spit a Apex Seal out through the Turbo it should have kept running on one rotor. So my guess is it was time.



The TMIC is my ONLY option. Remember this is a motor swap. I don't have huge amounts of clearance for a FMIC. I'm also running NOS.



Don't diss on the TMIC, Remember just a few years ago Turbo Charged cars didn't even have IC'ers.



The worst that would happen is Detonation. I only ran 2 passes at the drags....

Here is a video of a run I made when it blew. Zuki-r @ the Races



I wasn't running NOS (The tech inspection made me pull my bottle for a lack of a safety blow off vent.).

wow I can't wait for you to get it going again. Ever though about meth injection to get the intake temps down to a server temp?

I was being sarcastic. I know sarcasm doesn't come across well in writing. I honestly think it looks cool. It is a bold color but its going to be fast so that makes it ok https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/happy.gif

I'm curious the engine bay will look once everything is reinstalled...

When I drove it previously.... Stop lights where is a B*&th at least for the people behind me. The exhaust on this thing is really nasty. So I have thought about alternative fuels. But I probably wouldn't be able to afford to drive it then.

The car will be green, but it's not getting a FULL paint job, so the engine bay will remain BLACK.
