Was at NJMP Lightning over the weekend. During final session, went to accelerate out of turn 4 and got nothing from the engine. Thought I was fuel starved or something. No boom or shudder. Just started getting zero boost.
Took to shop today and they saw that the charge pipe coupler had come loose. Easy fix! Then they discovered that my exhaust-side turbine had disintegrated and was sitting inside my downpipe. They had a spare OEM turbo from someone that had upgraded and are installing that. They said they hadn't seen that before and thought it was likely a warranty-able defect (had I not been tuned at at a track).
Should I be looking to add better cooling or just do a better job of cooldown between session? My car:
- Catted AA downpipe
- Ecutek 93 pump tune (420whp, 519tq)
Also, what's a good method/app to monitor the various temps while I'm driving?
I'm torn because considering trading for the manual in the next year or so and don't want to dump too much into mods. I see folks are doing the EOS intake manifold, but that seems to be for 600HP+ cars.
Thoughts?
