[frotou]

Last year the engine was in break in period @ 8 psi. Nothing was going wrong exept ... for the oil consummation ; 1 quart every 300 miles. I decided to open the engine again to see. It was the fuc**** total seals rings who dosen't do their job. So for 2k7 ;

act xtrem pressure plate and 6 puck (w/o spring) disc



custom aluminium race intake



beside the manifold/turbo



arias 82 mm piston/rings



pauter rods (already in motor last year)



block bore to 82 mm



No more blue this year



Now waiting for some parts to reasemble the engine. More pics later.

The only problem I would see with your setup is the wastegate placement... It's really not the best... The exhaust air flow must do a complete 180° turn to go to the wastegate route. It will be hard to stay at low boost on this big turbo (relatively compared to a 7AFE engine). You may experience boost creep because of that and the 38mm wastegate.

Otherwise, you did some good work!!!! Congrats!!! The engine bay paint is really nice!
