It's a difficult one to address but this test is interesting to say the least
Exactly that Luke, it's just really interesting as it's very rare to see someone put their engine up as a test bed like this!
With regards to what you said about pumps going after use; I've heard of pumps failing literally after the first time they came on big boost and high revs for the first time. Liam had a couple go like this.
EDIT: Beat me to it!
