Thats what I thought, it took 7 different tries on the piece inbetween the two flanges at $40-50 a try, its really thick about 1/4 inch stainless steel to take the heat and hold the weight, and a head flang that has to be cnc cut =$$$$$ and tig welded and wastegate, Im in it over $ 600.00

That sucks, most likely as issue with lack of paying attention to ignition timing.

Too much timing was thrown at it probably.

How much timing and what fuel?

I don't see it posted but was this an auto or 6spd? DAMN!!! It looks like ignition timing issue but I'm no experience tuner. Hopefully someone chimes in. Why push it that hard on a stock block?
