Did you get the postmortem results of the original engine yet?
Did you ever find out exactly what happened to the original engine?
Not as of yet... I will know more once the engine is out... and even more when it goes back to Cali and Loren Beggs at 911 Design for the tear down. He promised me the broken pieces and lots of pics to post... Stay tuned!

[QUOTE=MBailey;2225591]No not yet. The engine is still in Oklahoma but ready for shipment to Loren at 911 design. Hopefully will all know something in a few weeks.

you move a LOT MORE air per unit of BAR with larger turbos. 1-BAR with G35's vs 1-BAR with K16's is no comparison. 1.3-BAR on G16's is totally maxxing them out. You'll soon need new turbos.
get a set of GT28's with REAL ball-bearing cartridges and they'll spool SUPERFAST and feel like K-16's with tons more punch.
you won't necessarily get the 7000RPM power out of them that you'd get with larger compressors but then you'd have a virtually ZERO lag situation while filling up the 5500-6500RPM space in the powerband with extra horsepower and interestingly, the 3500-5000RPM space with extra torque vs a distinct dropoff (in torque) @ 3500-4000RPM's which is the limiting factor with the K16's. the higher torque @ 4K-RPM's and above will materially aid your freeway marauding adventures in the 140-170mph area.
overboosting K16's does only one thing.... delivers VERY HOT air to the motor. you should not do this if you want the car to live. get larger turbos and some IC's if you want to get more aggressive. you're slowly COOKING your intake system and it's going to kill the motor, ultimately.

I'm also with Tony as far as boost goes with pump as. The DSM I built ran a 1.4bar wg spring and ran into the middle 500s at the tires on 93 octane. You just have to dial the tune in for it.

I'm relatively new to the forum, and love my GT2. I hate to hear about what happened to your TT, but this thread has been a great learning tool for a newbie like me. One of the things which I noticed was that all those ECU flashes everyone talks about may or may not remove the "safety" features of the stock ECU. Since an ECU upgrade is in my future, I'll be asking the right questions. I'm also looking forward to finding out what happened to the engine which started this whole thing.

epic!
The war and peace of turbos and detonation! Nevertheless educating.
