I'm sure at least half of the damage is from not getting it out of Gear right way. Was more concerned with gathering the car up at 110. It unsettled the car really bad lol. So the motor kept spinning for at least a few hundred feet. Beat itself to death.
Also, turbo got hurt. Housing and turbine are junk.

Holy ****! I didn't expect the turbo to be touched! Pistons 1 and 4 had very unsettling deaths that scarred the crap out of piston 2. Piston 2 said "I'm OUT!" Piston 3 is that one friend who never shows up to your parties. He slept through the entire event. Do I see an FP Black in your future?

The red will go back to FP for refurbishing. If I change the turbo in anyway, it's going to be a turbo kit.

Jon will be lapping the gears in for me to shorten the break in significantly.
Also, the tcase is blown up. Needs a ring and pinion. Learned the hard way to not run a tuned ACD on fresh gears.

Rear diff is fine. Trans is getting more than a refresh. Final drive change, different 4th and 5th gear.

Dave at headgames called to discuss some things yesterday, and let me know my head is on schedule to be donw in about 2 weeks.
Wiseco had a bit of a snafu and put the wrong skirt coating on my pistons. They said they got them back today or yesterday from soda blasting and will be getting recoated. So, hopefully not way longer on those.
Meanwhile, I ordered EvoX front brakes. And I am compiling my long list of needed miscellaneous, clutch rebuild, and fuel system related items that has quickly exceeded $2k and is creeping towards $3k...sigh....lol.
Next weekend is Discount Tire's Memorial Day sale, I'll be ordering either Enkei PF01's or Forge Star F14's in 18x10.5 +38 and some Hankook TD Z221 Medium compound tires in 285/30r18.

It appears that in the car industry, it has now become just as likely for people to make mistakes on your precious parts as for things to happen correctly the first time around. Jeez! Crossing my fingers for you that nothing happens to delay your build. Build costs are always a heart breaker, but large builds only happen once in a long while.
