the red wonder

lol well brandon blew his motor again in his rx7. i dont exactly know what happend tho but he had a new motor put in after the rebuild and come to find out his turbo was a little bad it was burining hella oil. i had a turbo sitting in my back yard and wasnt going to use it and he put it on and ran it for a little while well suposedly he went out racing and blew it up. so he limped it all the way back to my house and now its parked there for like 4 months + now but its kool as long as i know he is going to work on it if not give it to me lol.

but the reason for it to blow what he told me was cause the turbo that he had that leaked had a ported wastegate (A wastegate is a valve that diverts exhaust gases away from the turbine wheel in a turbocharged engine system. Diversion of exhaust gases regulates the turbine speed, which in turn regulates the rotating speed of the compresser. The primary function of the wastegate is to regulate the maximum boost pressure in turbocharger systems, to protect the engine and the turbocharger.) to prevent it from boost spiking ( when you dont want to boost more but it dose it on its own) well my turbo was never ported and suposedly he boost spiked so thats why it blew again thats what he said i have no idea i just thought it might be funny to put up
