I hope he rebuilts it and gets back into the forums here, hes provided alot of great info. Looks like hes also been beating on that motor for a while to with big turbos.Yes his Chinese wastegate failed and he overboosted the motor to over 4 bars or something predictably fatal to the stock rods.
Anyone doing a high power build should just swap the pistons out to lower compression at the same time. Lower peak cyl pressures are also kinder to rods.
