wow..glad everyone was ok.. that fire looked to be very series (passenger compartment all charred up)
going to a focus RS sounds like an upgrade to me.
could this really be caused by oil starvation? whenever i've seen that kind of failure its usually been caused by very bad deto under full boost or overrev ?
anyway.. ya.. modified guys on this board should be a lot more curious to postmortem and find the cause of failure.. i know i was pretty darn curious everytime a WRX motor failed..
if this really was caused by a failed oil pump perhaps guys with an aftermarket turbo should consider an oil pump replacement as a preventative measure?
