The car won't even be available in North America, let alone be even remotely close to being CARB compliant. Nobody would pay for CARB certification for a model that isn't even sold here.
So I started digging in more to find any other pieces of compressor wheel in my intake manifold, I found a third piece and much to my surprise, I also found part of the throttle body seal stuck in the intercooler fins kind of hiding behind the oil filter hump that I need to fish out. It looks...
Not sure what that chart is from but myself and hundreds of others have found 32-33psi hot to be the sweet spot for most super 200tw tires on track for optimum grip.
Yea maybe, although it didn't shear inline with those machine lines.
My current theory is that the bearing got hurt last year when my charge pipe blew up and it might have over oversped the turbo in that short moment, and then when I banged on it hard again this first event of this year it had...
zero need to worry with that ethanol mix. Even higher mixtures you don't really need to worry about unless you park on the beach or something.
If the car sits for like a year, sure.
I just had my car parked for four months in my garage over winter. Drained the oil. No oddities or seperation. I...

I had it towed home to be extra careful not to do any more potential damage.
I found the broken blade pieces in the intake manifold. Luckily no damage to the intercooler core.
Time to scope...
