if
the wastegate fails you can damage the engine.

The cylinders shock cool and crack with a strong pssibility of the heads
seperating from the barrels and/or seizure from the barrels shrinking around
the pistons.

I have had the distinct pleasure of driving a Lingenfelter Twin Turbo 01'
vette on more than one occasion, 650hp, 6 speed, BAD BAD BAD!!!

Sweeetttt!!!!
