Boosted Performance V 2.0 turbo list

No I do not. But it was a mechanical issue. The newer 13's and up have been known to start having ringland failure with pushing the power like we all do. Most that I've talked to think that the trasition for these issues had happened somewhere in between 12 to 13 model years. Now my car is a 12 and 1/2 where some things have been changed from the previous years. Curious to know if this is when it changed and if it even is a change. Especially in piston design. I'm not sure, this is just what I'm being told by a few people but does make sense. My engine is pretty much all stock other then the turn key BP kit, as jwick had said my TQ was a lil on the high side and that ultimately could have been the reason.

Torque kills engines. I think some of us have been spoiled by the WHP numbers the TT guys are putting up on the FI/AAM builds. Although a TT setup typically comes on faster, the torque is usually a lot lower. With a single like our BP kit the torque comes on like a freight train. Chuck runs a Stage1.5 GTM TT kit with roughly the same WHP as me but I'm pushing 60 or more WTQ.

Instant torque is hard on the internals. I actually had my tuner pull as much timing as possible in the torque band to get it down but there wasn't much we could do as this 6266 BP kit just makes a ton down low.

I would be very interested to know if there are any real internal differences between early and late model productions.
