1.BillyT, the guy with the most powerful 1.8t so far in a MK4 finally blew his motor. It was a good run while it lasted, 430whp for over 2 years and 460whp for the past 2 months. The motor blew on 26psi while spraying a 50shot. 400whp seems to be the highest whp amount the motor can take and still be daily reliable with a good tune. Billy isn't the first person to blow a motor.......many people have blown them with bad tunes, or spraying 100shots on top of 28lbs and such. Billy is the first person to have the motor fail just because of its weakness, not because of tuning, or a huge shot, or bad gas. Mixed feelings, glad we got a general baseline, sad that the beast has died. Oh well, he has a built 1.8t ready to go into a MK2(2400lbs if that) that should handle 30+psi and N02 on top of that......should get interesting.

Sounds like spun a rod bearing and then a rod. ;)

Was this WHP on N20? What kind of ET was he able to pull with that setup?

[1.8t]

Best all motor run(kind like an oxymoron with a turbo :lol: ) was 410whp on 26psi.........best run with nitrous is 465whp on a 50shot. Best ET with nitrous is 12.2@120mph. He has yet to break out a sub 2.0 60', apparently he is changing his slicks weren't that great. The 12.2 was on 410whp, no runs as of yet with the new VW motorsports tranny and the old 465whp motor. He had plenty of power for 11's, traction and transmissions kept him out :( . Oh well, his latest creation will turn a few heads.
