So on the way to the E30 Picnic my turbo m20 decided to give in, but it doesn't make sense why it happened, and tuners and mechanics agree too. So please turbo experts, enlighten me
Engine is a 2.7i: Super eta block, with 2.5 885 head. Block is oringed, thicker headgasket for lower compression, ARP head studs (one stud is broken now), 284 degree camshaft, Ireland Engineering HD rocker arm set, plus the motor was rebuilt, car was tuned well by a reputable tuner locally on the dyno, car didn't seem to be overheating (I think) and lastly it was at only running at 11PSI of boost, and I was just cruising when the Head gasket popped on me.
Why could this have happened, and will it be worth doing rods and pistons now that the engine is disassembled?
Edit: I don't know how to post multiple pictures lol
