I'm forever hearing of people blowing up engines and 'going forged'
What I propose is that we collect some details on all these failures and work out some common causes.
What we need for this to be a useful resource is as much detail as you can feasibly provide about your exact setup. The circumstances of the failure would also be helpful e.g were you giving it the beans at the top of 5th gear @ 150mph after an hour of thrashing or were you just crawling around the local supermarket carpark. At the very least we'll also need a detailed description of the damage caused, better yet are close up photos of the damage once it gets pulled down. For anybody in the process of rebuilding taking these photos will be much appreciated!
Engine
Turbo
Manifold
Injectors
ECU and/or FCD, RRFPR and all relevant settings
The more detail the better!
There's no shame in sharing a failure if it means potentially you can save somebody else from the same situation. I can guarantee some Rep for everybody that posts up a good account of what happened to their engines
