Crap.... this can't be good.
K last night i was practicing some launches and my last one i rev'd to about 4.5 and dropped the clutch and it when CLUNK*. Now it sounds like I have a Stroked v8 with a racing cam and open headers. LOL <------not funny, scary. called my mechanic today he said he says i either blew off my exhuast or a muffler. have any of you guys heard of this, or had it happen to you? If so how expensive do you think this could get?

Dumb ***. Why dont you look under your car and see if you blew of the exhaust. If you cant do that by your self I think you might need to look at buying a Honda.

Well i already did that, didn't see anything so i was thinking there was a hole in my turbo manifold, which i could not see. It turns out i split the exhaust side manifold in half.... Time to upgrade to a T04S ....there goes $1200.

If you can break 1/2" of cast iron launching the car, you've just done the impossible.
It's likely something simple. Take it to a good shop and have them look at it - shouldn't be too bad.

This isnt the owner, yet i am a close friend. Saw the car today and the problem was resolved in a few mins. The flange where turbo meets downpipe, actually split in half.. u can see the turbine wheel. He'll get some pics up later today.

the last thing you need to buy for your fd in a while? fd's are money pits, they are never satisfied.

It's kind of funny that I was in Iraq getting shot at and avoiding getting my *** blown up by IEDs to defend the freedom of speech of people like you. Do us all a favor and keep posts like the one above to yourself.
