Re: Twin turbo TD04-13T project: Journey to 300+whp

I know they are different motors, but I have lost 1 EJ205 and 1 EJ257 personally to blowing ringlands apart. Both were OEM turbo motors running about 18 PSI on a mild turbo with very very good tuning. They both went at about 100K miles. I also lost 1 EJ205 to a burnt valve, thankfully with the hydraulic lifters in the SVX we don't have to worry about the lash tightening up keeping the valve from seating completely.
