Idk why it would make you think twice... that's like someone putting wheels on wrong a ripping their fenders apart in a turn and it scaring people off from doing wheel changes.

There are plenty of people with his kit that have no issues, you do things right you don't have to worry about destroying things.

It'll never give you 450whp, either. The same level of negligence applied to a supercharger install would've likely ended just as badly.

its all risk vs reward...

There isnt any need to fight SC VS TC.

What happen to this engine is the fault of the installer and the driver. it may not have been properly installed from the installer. and the Driver pushed his engine without the proper saftey precautions

It's amazing how this thread has more views than the compilation turbo thread

How badly damaged were the heads? I am assuming you won't be picking it up this weekend or next? You still want a ride down there to pick it up?

The pics in the beginning of this thread were honestly making me nauseous! Ouch!

Thanks for sharing and keep us posted on the rebuild!

@Frs300 talk to Tony about removing the oil screens on the ACVS / VVT while the rebuild is going on.
