I feel like most turbo guys blow their motor lol...
Yea Hopefully I will get around what I want...
Nice Sig! Maybe I will see you at English town or Island this season lol
I met 666 up at lebanon one day and he had far less mods and much less hp running faster times lol...
hahahaha thanks I need as much track time as I can get...

lol,when i did mine i said the same thing,i just need it to last about a year,then ill be tired of the 446hp and build a motor to up the boost,it lasted 8 days,lol.11psi later it was toast!
there will always be that guy (nastystang) that will tell you how hes been running more for longer than everyone else,lol,im happy for him.id say hes the exception to the rule.i would not push it till you get it built.my issues was too much heat and too much back pressure,which it very critical on a turbo set up.
are you planning to upgrade the exhaust? it made a world of difference wheni switched out from pypes mid muffler to magnaflow 3"
(btw...nastystang...dont get offended,lol,it was a joke!)

Willy is leaving out a very critical part out, he should tell everyone WHY his motor blew up.
BTW: Not offended at all.

only reason i have really come up with is just from beating the shit out of it at the track,florida heat,11psi and too much back pressure...i think those conditions made the rods a tad warm!! fuel was good,tune was good.it was the #8 rod which is prone to get hotter quicker.

I thought I remember something about a faulty BOV.

it was the wastegate,thats where it boosted to 11psi ,it was set to only 9psi.it may have been closer to 500hp when it went, 9psi was 446 hp.
So what I am gathering from all this info is;
Firstly stay below 10psi
Secondly make sure all systems are in check
And thirdly don't beat the shit out her daily anymore?
Lol
Willy where did all the heat come from... Should I be worried cause I have a snail on both sides of the motor...

i think most of my heat was coming from too restrivtive of a downpipe. on my original design i was using a 2.5" pipe from the turbo back to where it y'ed into the 2.5" dual exhaust. i hooked a boost gauge up to my exhaust too see what kind of back pressure i was seeing with that pipe. @ 10psi of boost to the intake,i was seeing 30# of pressure in the exhaust,which is not good at all, idealy you want to be between 1-1.5 ratio, so if you have 10 psi in the intake your only seeing between 10-15 pounds of pressure in the exhaust.so there was a big part of it for my car. at the track that day, i got in 8-9 runs, the last few where almost back to back.i was normally running 9 psi and was using a turbonetics 38mm wastegate. on that last run i checked the boost controller and it spiked up to 11.4 psi. after doing some research i found that alot of people had problems with the turbonetics 38mm wastegate because by design they dont fully open all the way to 38mm. so i switched it out for a 44mm.
my current back pressure is around 1.5 ratio by adding the 3" downpipe and also switching to 3" magnflow exhaust. im also venting my wastegates to the atmosphere now, right up front using a small glasspak muffler,sounds bad ass when it opens up!!
You just keep getting me more worried... I may have to fab up my own exhaust being as I am running the Cervinis side exhaust which is not Ideal at all... The down pipe on the back right turbo is very restrictive and if thats not enough it is 2.5 exhaust all the way back into a 180degree U to transition out the side....
dam....

you need to weld in a 1/8th inch bung just before each turbo between the turbo and manifold,closest to the turbo. then once you get it running,hook up a boost gauge to each side and see what you get.you may be fine with 2 turboes and running 2 downpipes.
Ok I will have to do that, I want to be as safe as possible... I also have to figure out what spring is in these built in waste gates from the factory...
You just reminded me I still have to get a boost gauge, there So dam expensive....

What the hell Joe????
The secret is out. Good job man, I gotta get up to your house and check it out. Bring that bitch to the mountain this season. I will pay for your yearly pass so you don't have to park in the "spectators" area.
Talk later bro.

Great build you got going on. I, with some help from our local club, are strongly leaning towards a track rental day at LVD. I will post up if we do.
