Once the water hit it it shrunk to within a bee's dick. No damage to the turbo, and none to the head or bottom end. So 4 inch Cat and a re-tune and she is even better than what she was before, made a healthy 365kw on the dyno(filthy hot day 30 degrees plus), and safe to say ive been driving very 'Spiritive' lately. Couldnt be happier with the result, comes on boost hard at 3500 RPM, if it was gonna throw a rod I think it would have done it by now(touch wood), also got the box tuned whilst I was there, bit put off at first, but now I wouldnt have it any other way. Shifts are firm and precise every time.Ended up costing my mate close to 3k but was peanuts compaired to what I first told him. Poor bloke, two weeks after this incident he hit a kangaroo just out side of canberra at 100 clicks in his old mans new VE SS, he was just about to buy a BF Typhoon aswell, after his horror month with cars he settled for a run about excel.
