It prob had gone when you were running it at 20psi and on the drive back the crack finally gave way.

**** me, remind me not to get a car set up by whoever sets your cars up, they know as much as my 4 year old...... to be fair, he knows quite a bit as he's nearly 5 now. :cooter:

mistakes happen, and help us learn.. My friend did the cup mod on a friends r5, he left the wrong port open on the actuator, the car was very quick for about 3 mins,.. then there was lots of white smoke and a missfireing car..

I believe mark ended up repairing that one actually..

I had the same damage on my last 5 years back. It was extremely quick for about 10 mins then pop. I had just done a few fancy things and a new turbo at about 20psi.

Quite simply it was not fueled properly (lack of) which resulted in too much heat and it cracked the liner.

As above, the damage was most likely done on boost.
