You literally posted, in this very thread, today, why all that is bad and why you should move your line. My mind is completely blown.

The turbo shop told me that there was no problem with the oil feed - the problem is external object that hit the compressor impeller - why no filter ? stupid me...

Well,

more progress on the ignition system:

So, no oil feed blockage even though you saw something caught in the restrictor?

No air filter element and something went through the compressor? I'd look inside the intercooler for it.

yes, I'll try again, could be the accessories connected to the ecu take too much current ?

Shouldn't. I had to replace my battery just recently. Never had the symptoms you're experiencing though. Are all your connections good?

31 and 32 mean the cam and/or crank signals are not getting received properly. There's actually no difference in the codes, bad signals on either one can trigger it. It could be noise, but if it worked before and you didn't change anything then most likely it's a failing cam sensor.

A failing cam sensor will have hard time when cranking and when the engine is running it will work fine ?
Here are some cranking logs and a short video.

Thanks for the answers

The hard start was solved by adjusting the gap between the sensor and the trigger wheel.

**Update**

A very expensive lesson learned, low octane and high boost do not mix.

Piston 4 melted.
The car is in the shop for a rebuild.











Pre-Ignition :(

Will update soon.

I may have earned a B.A. in German, but I'm pretty sure this is common knowledge.
