THIS sucs.... :(
At last i got the car running after i blew the engine in september last year, was out and trying to map the car on the road, everything is fine until i try to launch the car for the first time with the new clutch and all...
Was running a little over 14psi at that time, bout hell it went
Stopped at a sign, switch on the launch-control/anti-lag, 7000rpm and released the clutch...... *BAANG*
All the lights led up in the dashboard and i quickly turned off the engine
pushed the car in to the side, there was oil everywhere on the road, and the car dident move for more then 10fet, looked under the car and the front diff had litterely exploded and has taken the sump with it....
Now it`s time to go home and take the engine apart again

yes just like that, but mine took the sump apart also, there is a hole and a long crack across the sump in the bottom, it has also destroyed the link between the gearbox and frontdiff....
