I think i blew my engine.
Hello,
Yesterday I did something really stupid. I raised my boost up to 17 psi and at 4th gear ,WOT and 6k rpms my car felt that it lost some power.
After I pulled over I heard a weird sound like knock knock knock continuesly but no smoke from the tail. The sound is coming from the upper place of the engine.
I found some oil in the oil catch can but not much.
After a quick thought I drove the car towards a friendly garage and the engineer ensured me that something is broken inside the engine, just hearing this awful sound. When i drove the car i noticed that in high rpms the knock knock gets weaker and weaker but lots of white smoke comes from tailpipe during acceleration. Also there is a huge power loss but the turbo still produces boost.
What do you guys think I ruined, except my day and my wallet ?

Do you have 255HP fuel pump? All I've heard about the '99 is the lack of maintaining fuel pressure in high RPMs without one.
Coupled with 305cc injectors, it is impossible with the stock fuel system to support more than 230BHP. ...that's only around 195rwhp.
If your wideband was at 11:1, then your tune had major issues where you could not make a lot of power even with a **** ton of boost. So poor ignition timing, restrictions, extra heat, etc.
The noise you hear is more than likely your ringlands bouncing around.

After 5k rpms the boost keeps dropping and dropping and dropping until 6 psi at redline. My bad. Sorry I think this is the reason that my afrs are good up there.

From your experience Braineack and Paul do you suggest me to reinforce the engine with forged internals or just repair it with stock parts?
And something else. Idle runs rock solid at 900 rpms, And car revs freely.

I would read a bit more if I were you #1. It depends on what your goals are. If you want 350+ you should build the motor. Below that the stock block can handle it with a good tune. Either way if you do some stupid **** like this again you'll blow your **** up. So read.

I feel so damn noob. When I was building the car I promised to my self that i wouldnt run over 12 psi. I hold my promise until the time I installed the incabin mbc ****.. That was my disaster!
