Turbo Goose Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) Well, after my car decided to boost at 2.6 bar i knew there would be an issue but i thought it would just be the rings.Currently stripping the engine for a forged build and turns out 3 rods are bent and one piston has fallen to bits.Suprised it didnt spit a rod out the block!
