So I pulled the differential apart to keep from scattering it from the anticipated upgrades coming.

I wasn't happy with this piping configuration but it did work fairly well.

So after pulling my old turbo setup off, I found a broken Tial wastegate and it explained some of the boost issues I had later on. I must have broken it at VIR.

Here is how big the full exhaust was next to a can. You can see the 3" on the right for comparison.

Let's start here, I ended up selling the D series 20B. After further investigation, 20B's are just too much money to build and modify for big boost. If you ever have an issue, the cost to fix it was just out of my budget. I can blow 2-3 built 13B's for the cost of one built 20B.

The S4 T2 diff installed with a TnT brace. You can see my temporary fuel pump hanger, which turned permanent for a few years.

So the motor started having cooling issues and I pulled the rear plug and found coolant inside. I decided to pull it and rebuild it myself this time. It seems like finding a good builder these days is a lot harder than it should be so I decided it's best to just figure it out.

Surprisingly, the turbo manifold still worked with the newly added Pro-Jay Typhoon intake.

So what does one do when they need to build a stronger engine for more boost?

The 587rwhp setup lasted a solid 2 years of consistent abuse but I started to get greedy on a mostly stock motor. It held up until about 32psi, estimated around 630rwhp. You can see the carnage where the e-shaft flexed enough to touch the rotors to the irons. The bluing flattened the corner seal springs (or at least I think so).

The irons had minimal damage thankfully. I unfortunately did not take a picture of the irons.
