You have to add me to the list....
Was pushing the limits of the car on the Dyno and got it up to 24psi through the standback. Made ok power at 22psi, but let's just say I blew my clutch(stock flywheel seperated off the block), bent cylinder 4 rod and started to hear a knock.
Once it was went, the clutch pedal was vibrating consistently and it was very hard for it to engage a gear.
Took it straight off the dyno, did a compression test(no problems), then put it on a tow truck and to the workshop.
I'll have to say that i'm all to blame, I just really wanted to push it's limits! Lucky for me there was no damage to the block. If there was it would have been new block like Cosmic!
Engine Mods are:
CorkSports FMIC + CAI
TZR Fuel Pump
CorkSports Dump Pipe
Custom 3" Cat
CorkSports Cat Back
Turbosmart BOV
CPE Standback + PNP
In all seriousness, the engine internals can't handle more than 18-19psi consistently. If your pulling huge power, then I would seriously consider cutting back on the boost if you want to get away without a engine rebuild.
