Boost line slipped off on my 00 WRX once. I'd only noticed after about 20-30 seconds of WOT, and when I looked down it was off the 30 psi boost gauge. Point is, one spikes gonna blow an engine? I'm not sold on that.

out of oil + spike will though.

oil is what sucks the heat away from the piston.

I agree oil pissing out of the engine is the workshops problem, even if the engine itself is not covered there is some law somewhere to cover any work done for a specific time im pretty sure

If they aint fixing this for free you should be able to get the law on your side

Was the motor that shat itself stock or was it a second hand forgy?

Lukey, I don't know much about your exact situation, but from what I can see, it appears the fault was caused from installation. Either way, if i paid 4-5k for an engine and it went the next day from 1 boost spike and pissing oil everywhere, I would be complaining pretty loudly.

Im sure u are doing everything you can to get it fixed under some sort of warranty, surely its not "your" fault.

I dont even know you mate but sorry to hear it

How about we run some sort of fundraiser/collection plate?? Just a thought, i'd put some money in

...not hard to figure which workshop though, maybe you want to edit a certain post on "introductions"...up to you

If you bought a second hand motor and it craps itself you have noone to blame but yourself for being a tightass.
