Well, it's been a long time. I'm finally yanking it back out for a rebuild.
I ordered a set of 94.5's (it was already 94) and really hoping machine work goes well.

I went through the data log from the day the engine expired.
...For interstate cruising i had set the afr to a lean 16:1, because gas mileage. All the boost was 12.4 or something.
the engine actually melted during a cool down lap,, after a few fast ones.. cool down was unfortunately in the lean cruise. It never got a chance to cool. Quite the opposite.
So no more gas mileage. It will eat plenty of fuel next time.

Would like to sell the rolling chassis with as much stuff attached as possible.
Tons of awesome engine and turbo parts.
