Another night another failure.
Got this bad boy started... Noticed the bad *** distinctive brap brap of the bridge port... thought to myself wow thats kinda loud with the turbo in place.... then saw the smoke coming from turbo area just before the car stalled...
V-band on the turbo not mated correctly... Fail! Having a complete b1tch of a time getting it mated. Worked on it for about two hours before finally giving up.

Agreed. can see the center of all the nrs one piece apex seals from the spark plug holes. hope this is not something i did. we have put more then a few engines into cars over the years so i dont think its something simple as a washer pulled into the intake. we will see on Saturday when the builder comes down.

bridge is to small. also if it took out the corner seals it would have taken out other suff. I can still see the apex seals from the spark plug holes. something is up with the side seals cant wait to see. Or maybe the side of my apex seals.
FYI the apex seals are one piece NRS units.

I can speculate till im blue in the face as to what the problem may be but will find out during tear down on saturday. The harder part is going to be getting a new mount built but I have some ideas in mind that may turn out well.
