thanks guys.
Looking at the damage some more, it does look like mostly the fire exstingwisher (sp). The fire was mostly contained in the front right by the turbo, the two fans are completly melted, a couple hoses are melted, and the coolent resivoir was melted and the hoods paint melted. but other then that most of it just wipes off. Ill take a couple cans of degreaser and a power washer to it maybe tonight and see if there is any more damage.

Careful not to get your CAS too wet; I wrecked one with water once.

The BOV does too...hahaha
No no its not funny. Sorry to hear that. Atleast the fire did not get to a fuel line. But like you said does not look that bad. Good luck with it Tom hope a few things need to be replaced.

The reason those two things look untouched, is because i wiped them off. The guage on the fpr looked liek it was really charred as well as the bov, but after wiping them off they looked brand new. same with the headlights.
After the fire was put out and the car was back home we joked about it. As long as me and my roomate are in one peice and the car is in under 5 peices, then it was an OK night.

So was it your oil return rigging that caused the fire I'm assuming? Or what was it?
Sorry to hear though man, what a bummer.

yeah the oil line popped off under the pressure, and must have sprayed oil on the exhaust manifold and open wastegate. and all over the fans.
