ak philosphy, if you blow it up, make it faster and more liable to blow up the next time

160mph shouldnt be that stressfull unless it was running on WOT for a long time.... full boost etc...
if a boost pipe came off, it would have lost boost, not cought on fire

it's possible that the heat of the turbos melted somthing and caused a fluid leak which caught fire. maybe fuel lines?

Is insurance an option then Nath? If so, what sort of excess are you looking at?
