So I am looking for a used long block to get the car running again.
I was logging when it broke down, something happened and oil temp reached 130C before i noticed the noise it was making.
Normally I am using a obd gauge with alarms to let me know if stuff gets to hot.
But the ecutek cable was hooked up, so i did not get any warnings...

Sorry to hear that! You should give me a call. Sometimes "blown" isn't as bad as you think. We could probably rebuild most of what you have, perform the internal modifications so you have better oil pressure. Odds are you damaged the crank and some rods but the rest may be perfectly serviceable.
For NA you don't need to build up to "turbo" strength so it won't cost an arm and a led. Food for thought. I think you'll really regret it down the road if you put the same thing back in and then have the same exact failure (which is what you should expect).
