Well see....what had happen was I used some sub par vacuum lines i received with my vacuum manifold kit and the wastegate line melted and caused the car to overboost to 16 plus psi....felt good but she didnt like it it too much. No rods through the block or anything, but like I said good thing we broke her down.

I bet 16 psi felt real good...only wish she could actually handle it all day

So I'm guessing you did not wrap your WG lines to protect them from exhaust temperatures?

I have a $600 shipment coming from SummitRacing just to handle heat management. I'm wrapping turbo manifold, downpipe, all wires, all hoses (WG and any fuel/brake lines in line of site of turbo of manifold piping) and of course bagging the turbo.

Best investment imo...I did have everything wraped but that crappy vacuum line which wasnt touching a direct heat source

You just confirmed my need to buy the extra thermo-tec to protect everything possible. A couple hundred bucks now is well worth protecting my $12k build...

Everything I've researched says wrap anything that is in direct line of site of a heat source, not just the things that might touch it. Sh!t gets real hot down there....
