wow......NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

When where? How bad did it sound.... Details my man details!!!
 
Ouch!!! Sorry to see that!

Was this the end of your 3L or a 2.5?!?!?! How much boost were you pushing when it let go? Was it a quick bang! type of failure or was it progressive?!! Hear any detonation?

Sorry for the slew of questions but we have very similar setups and I hope to not do that to mine if I can help it.
 
man reebs i was like wtf nooooooooooooooo. then i saw my shoes in one of the pics.

Lol, yeah, just a SVT parts car. :D 3L turbo is still running strong! :) That was some pretty serious damage for 70 something thousand miles on a naturally aspirated stock 2.5L though!
 
A N/A 2.5 can finally got such damage; Still make me feel terrible because I just have same 2.5 duratec in my car

Ohhh good.. thought you wernt going to make it to Packos :laugh:
 
Uh, didn't you read that was a parts car!?!? I bought it blown and I was just showing a picture of the oil cooler that blew off that engine. I didn't RTV my oil cooler gasket.

Yep I sure did. Was just a statement to whomever did that. :troutslap:
