So yeah, popped another blower tonight...
Ford KA tried murking me off round the outside of a roundabout, cutting me up in the process... I wasn't happy, so overtook, covered him in engine oil and bits of turbine wheel...
I think he got the message... So yeah, suppose it's back to the GTi6 for a bit then, ffs!

Oops.....time for an even bigger one I guess lol. 
Also....gotta wonder if there's a lad on a ka forum bragging about overtaking a dturbo now though.....even if he was covered in oil and turbo afterwards.....

What is it with the seating position in ph3s, maybe I'm just used to my buckets and harnesses... But the seating position in them is just total jank...
I swear the ph2s are much better... Feel like my head is literally in the roof on the lowest seat setting.

In all seriousness, it probably would, but busses don't go out to where my work is...
It'd also be faster, probably contain more boost and invariably be cheaper...

Well, engine will come out now, I've been wanting to build up my new engine for a while, this is just the kick in the arse to git'r'done...
No point in buying another Turbo, when I know I'm going to go bigger next time.... I've popped 3 of the bastards now, they're just too small for what I'm trying to do...

New engine time tbh...
Gona pull the engine and see what's what... In a way I'm glad it's gone before I bust a rod, it'll be interesting tearing this shitter down to see what's been going on, see what's broken etc...
But yeah, new engine, bigger turbo, modified manifolds, maybe some pikey porting to various orifices... See what happens really.

Sounds good, if you could get the head to flow better and fit some stronger rods that's the 2 main weaknesses sorted. Will HDI rods fit an XUD?

Yes, but I now know 3 people who've smashed HDi rods...
Frankly I dunno whether I should bother, I may as well save for a set of forgies... But my mind says if you're getting forged rods, then doing it without forged pistons is silly... If you rip the skirt off a piston spinning it too fast, it's going to wipe out the conrod also...
I know no one has done it yet, but it could quite easily happen with the weight of the standard pistons...
And I've just done 94 miles to £20 of fuel... Ahh now I remember why I don't like the GTi6...

Meh I was turning 6krpm often, without issues with the pistons, alot of the conrod failures final moments seem to occur because of piston failure, but im pretty sure its simply the bend in the rod overloading one side of the piston resulting in them snapping, as wenever ive seen this happen all 3 other rods are bent also...Always seems to be the rods at fault anyway, altho I agree would be nice to force them up also, but you would be looking at around 1300-1400 for full set of rods and pistons from when I looked into it...

94 miles to £20 is pretty good for a 6 - well it's better than mine though I do a lot of short journeys which totally kill it.
Shame about the turbo though but should be a good read for the new build!!

I'd rather it'd have been some more expensive machinery, but that was my only option at the time!
