well installed the pfc in the car thanks to everyone who helped me out with it specially just_ace
got to 160kw at 12psi and heard the dreadfull rattle noise, stopped straight away but was too late blew the bottom end bearing no 2.
 
 
from what i could see the car idled and sounded much better while it was being tuned.
so now getting a new rebuilt engine.
car will still be tuned for response and drivability not high HP
will still be using stock fuelling components.
cheers

dunno guys. apparently the tuner suspected the timing was off as he had some small pinging, he said it was off by atleast 10deg
he told me that after the bearing went.
but im sure he was being cautious. but they didnt check timing before starting to tune and i would have thought that should have been the first thing they did.
 
car started first go after installign the GEN 3 pfc but idled like **** and kept stalling. few minutes into it and he got the car runnign properly.
car would have made more power as the tuner guarentted it he said he was just getting started. it blew on the 3rd power run was probably on the dyno for about 30min max.
 
it made 164kw on 12psi on 2nd run, then next run intake temp was at 60degrees and power dropped to 147kw, went looking for answers and realised the intercooler fan wasnt working at all during all the runs ( i have mine still connected to the intake sensor on the engine lid and since the engine lid was open the fan wasnt ON)
next run was the last.
was devastated but **** happens i guess, but the timing was the worst i wanted to get the car sprayed but thats now gone out the window.
 
andy - tuner is ETUNER suposedly good but see what happens.

mr turbo - hiflowed ct26, Greddy PEX exhaust, Berk technology intercooler kit, sard copy ebay dump pipe with cat,
everything else in engine is stock including stock boost and fuelling components. cant remeber what else all my mods are in the first page.

Look on the bright side. With a built eng you can let the hiflow boost what it wants to and maybe hit closer to 200kw.

Yeah hope soo too but I'm not expecting much as I'm still planning on running stock fuelling components. I should just get a walbro along with some 550s which means bored rail too but can't afford it atm.
I knew selling the 550s and bored fuel rail wasn't a good idea until I finished tuning.
