Well I went to the dyno today.

I'll just say that my car went up in flames on the dyno.

:fworld:

Hopefully it isn't anything too serious, the head gasket had a catastrophic failure due to boost creep. It went from 20 psi to 28.2 psi in .7 seconds at 6k rpm. There was no knock, but the AFR's did go lean right at the very end. I will be pulling the head Mon at the latest or whenever I can find a 2.4l head gasket. I may try a stocker, but I really don't want to.

I did make 353 whp and 321 torque. The torque was flat from 4k to 6.2k, partly due to boost creep. It started at 17 psi to 5k, then up to 20, then it went balistic from 6k to 6.2k. So, the lesson for the day is twofold. Do your first dyno on C-16 for safety's sake and a stock PTE housing won't flow enough out the wastegate with a 2.4 and a larger turbo.
