Hole in block, where's the built motor guys?

What power did it blow up at? I honestly believe that stock blocks are more reliable than built ones if you're not pushing over 500~ish WTQ, especially the 2014+ motors.

I bet that your motor was either hurt already, or the tuner doesn't know what he's doing.

Nothing huge just over 300KW, it had been maxed out at 325kw with maf's, then fuel pump, so maybe it was already hurt, had been boosted on stillen kit for 4-5 years originally. Spat a rod and hole in the block.

what's different with the 2014+? I may just look to get another stocko and bolt it in and away we go again.

Still waiting on exact graph's but the shops done plenty of boosted Z's before so don't think it is their fault at the moment.
