Evo Down, but not out!

My S1s did 430ish on an HTA71, I think, and almost 480 before running out of fuel, on an FP Green. I never found myself needing more power. However, I run relatively safe and conservative tunes so I don't have to worry during HPDE. My car idles like stock, from what I can tell. Also, mine are MIVEC cams so not sure if that's comparing apples to apples.
that reminds me of my mustang currently occupying said money pit

The RS is probably way more of a weekend car. I use to tease my cousin, who had an RS, when he would go to roll all the windows down. I called it "the poor man shuffle". I hope you have at least installed a stereo in it.

I found some magnetic metal shavings in the oil pan. It wasn't much, but im thinking i should probably do some more digging. I'm going to cut open the oil filter and see what that looks like. After that its probably the main caps. If anyone has any other suggestions that would be great.

This looked pretty clean to me.

You just have some metal from the cam breaking and then grinding on itself. I wouldn't worry about it. I only suggested you pull the pan to clean it out, not necessarily to see what was in there.

Thats what i figured too, especially after checking with a magnet. I just wanted to make sure the metal hadn't begun to circulate through the engine, which it appears it did not. That's one nice thing about this failure is that the engine stopped pretty much immediately.

Do you think I should pull the oil pump and inspect it?

No, that didn't make that much metal. When a turbo dies it makes more metal than what you likely found, and you find it in the filter when abturbo dies because they usually go slowly over time.. I'm sure the pump is fine.

Thanks for the advice guys. The turbo seems to be in pretty good shape. I'm going to test the seal on the waste gate flapper since that's a known defect. I couldn't find anyone who would work on this turbo for a reasonable amount of money, so if it is warped I'll probably have to replace the turbo.
