advice on rebuild required!!
Ok here I go. I was driving out to my buddys place giving my car a bit of **** (240 kph) when it lost a little bit of compression.. make a new exhaust manifold of the Tial 44mm wastegate and shortly after it went pop. I havent cracked it open to see the damage yet but what can i expect?
Engine was an extend port but want to go bridgeport or just a drillport for the nice pulse but wanting to know what this will do for my reliability.. car will be prefessionly tuned again..
Mods so far:
Turbo
series 5 exhaust housing with garrett t04 front cover, 44mm Tial wastegate
GTR Front mount
500hp fuel pump 660cc secondary injectors
Microtech lt-8 ECU
Hks hyper damper coilovers
thats all the basics i think. Anything help would be great thanks guys.

Bridge = Brap = WIN!
Seriously though a well done regular bridge shouldn't affect reliability but the increase power output might. A bridge port will also affect timing (read drivability).

the porting will be done by a guy been building rotories for 30 years who now works from home and tuning on a dyno by one of the best in the country who also builds rotories.. i realise the idle will be higher too

Threads like this hurt my brain for several reasons...
Reason the first: Stock hybrid turbo. The hot side is way too small, especially for a bridgeport.
Reason the 2nd: People randomly saying things like "you don't need a bridgeport" without asking the original poster what his power goals are
Reason the 3rd: Even suggesting the use of a "drillport" should be an instant ban.
Reason the 4th: The setup quoted does not have enough fuel for an upgraded stock turbo, let alone something that has been turned into a hybrid
At any rate, unless you plan on making upwards of 400HP to the wheels, most would argue that a bridgeport is not necessary at all. The tradeoff in fuel mileage (8-10 MPG in the city) and tuning difficulty is not worth it.
You need larger secondary injectors. If you do decide to go with a bridgeport, you will need a full turbo upgrade with a much larger hot side and of course all the other mods to go with it.

i dont mind getting a bigger turbo for it as i may as well go a bit nuts on it and was planning on getting some 1680cc injectors.. surely this could support it?
I don't want to run insane boost just want enough to put a smile on my face when I step on the loud pedal

That's how it's done. The difference is that the "drillport" or "cheese port" does not grind out the space between the holes. So the only thing accomplished is intake dilution.
