Rich, if Jacob still has the peice of metal it could help with a bit of detective work, i.e. what type would be interesting to know. Also asking your mech to do a leakdown test is a great idea before you go any further with this. Hopefuly ( ) it has come from your exhaust manifold and you can get on with the job in hand.

I have been to see the garage, he has the manifolds off, and the sides are obviously black with exhaust gases, but he could see nothing to suggest a piece of metal has gone through them, ie, a nick at the side etc ... he has looked all over and can't find any evidence.
I had a bump in the car a year ago, and we had to re con one of the turbo’s, so, maybe at that point a foreign object got into the turbo and has been there since?!?!
I need to see what Jacob thinks about these cracks in the housing … it would kill me to put it all back together only to find the crack grows and kills the turbos again in a few months time …

Sods F-g law!I have been to see the garage, he has the manifolds off, and the sides are obviously black with exhaust gases, but he could see nothing to suggest a piece of metal has gone through them, ie, a nick at the side etc ... he has looked all over and can't find any evidence.
You know that sounds like a real long shot don't you...I had a bump in the car a year ago, and we had to re con one of the turbo’s, so, maybe at that point a foreign object got into the turbo and has been there since?!?!
Have you managed to find out what the peice of metal is, steel, ally?

I might ask the garage, but I think we are confident with the compression test etc that everything is ok with the engine....MCB wrote:Oh right hope thats it are you going to have a leakdown test done just to check the motor is okay?
Not sure about the suspension, I think its ok, it was just unfortunate I think.. I mean, there is another part of the course where the whole car takes off, at the right speedMarkB wrote:Are you going to raise your suspension so you don't do it again? I bet you'll take that corner a little slower for a while...
That all depends, I will probably take it a little slower, but if I have that bike in my cross hairs (which, TT and summer coming up is going to happen a lot now!) I may not be able to!!!!
