Hey, it was expected to fail at some point. so it did.
I would love to tear that motor and see what happened for sure, and I will.
Next stage will be making it into something along the lines of a track car. Still haven't decided exactly what, though. I no longer need it as a DD, so I can really take the time, design it well, and go wild with it. A couple of years maybe... ?

For now I got me an A4 2.0T Audi
It gets 31 mpg and it is boosted too. Except the turbo is just about the size of my fist , but the cost of lease and the gas (monthly) turns out to be less than what I had paid on the 8 for the gas only, which in itself is pretty amazing.

Just baught my wife a 2.0T Quattro, she get's 30 MPG on avg. and 35 mpg when we take long trips. When she isn't in the car I get on it and am impressed by it's handling and power.

subscribing to get better ideas. 2 thumbs up for the use of stock header IMO. Race header any better u thinks? not for the kit, but for better spool times on that monster of a turbine?

LOL Dave,
I'm still alive and checking messages from time to time.
Been busy with all sorts of things unrelated to the car, while the 8 is just sitting in the garage for now.
