How many went FI and blew a motor?

Wattles

Add me to the list.

At 10k miles my motor went down with TT and oil cooler, dual intercooler setup. Boost was set to 10psi and WHP was just over 500.

My check engine light came on and the engine began to run very rough. I had it towed and the code the engine threw was a valve error.

Long story short, I now have a built engine after a long wait and Many dollars invested I hadn't planned on.

What can I say?
You play with fire, you can get burnt!

I'm really sorry to hear this. I hope that you can get your car back on the road again soon. Did anyone figure out what caused the valve error and the subsequent engine failure?

Also, wasn't your car the test vehicle for the 16G MHI Kit (in the link below)?

Yes my car was the original. Then it had the problem so we rebuilt it when we found out it needed to be cracked open to fix the problem.
It seems it was the valve that bent somehow. Sam said possibly over-rev or something.
So ultimately I went stage1 long block with forged internals.
In the end I ended up with the Garrett turbos and a stage 4 tranny so I wouldn't face any more issues.
