After my Low Dyno pull last week, my car started making a rattling noise under the intercooler afainst the firewall, I took it into Mastro today and it looks like I threw a bearing or a piston, but it knocks like HELL.

so...the verdict is now:

Need a new short block.

Not too happy about that. Since I have to get a new block, I've decided to go with a 2.5 STi block and forged Cosworth Pistons.

All in all that "free" dyno run is going to cost me about $6,000 with labor.

I'm not blaming anyone because I signed the waiver and I shouldn't have been a guinea pig on a new dyno, but we live and learn.

So moral of this story....Nothing in this world is FREE!
