Blown Plenum on 4.5 LB
Don't ever put a kinetix plenum on a boost application,
I left mine on there due to lazyness and planned on changing it to something nicer when i turned up the boost.
However driving to work (within a half mile) I downshifted to first, downhill
and I heard and felt a POP....
First thought, I knew i shoulda put a tranny cooler on, and I was just about to order my new valve body...., so the first thing I did was shift... it was wierd, but okay
So then I said #*$(@#$*#@$(@#* My engine!! theres at least 2000!!!!! but there was no smoke... my EUGO was dead and boost wasn't getting out of my turbos... sterring was locked etc etc
I came to a stop and took a look and saw my plastic plenum V4 Kinetix Blown wide open lol.
Scared the **** out of me, but im 98% sure thats all that went wrong.
I have a stock one coming in-- but honestly, I'm looking to sell my car.. I want a jeep SRT8 (Grand cheerokee)
So, I pushed my car the rest of the way to my office (right next to my tuner too) and its there for the weekend.
If anyone wants to put a offer in on a 35,000 mile, greddy twin turbo, 19" volk GTAV, Gauges, 2.5 test pipes/exaust, UNICHIP tuned by japtrix. 5AT, Fast and realible (when i change this plenum), NO track use EVER, never been over 80 with turbos. i barely see + boost. Just PM me with an offer its just a feeler.
I'm so done with this modding thing IMO
