    Problem is pistons alone are a grand. Rebuilt I'm probably sitting at close to 4 or 5 g. In a car not worth that. Sure it'd be a rebuilt trans and motor and turbos but I don't think that's very smart.

    Gonna pull the head and if nothing is too bad I may just replace the head. Both head gasets and call it good for now

    :jester: was thinking that.

    That sucks though Danny. Any idea what caused the failure yet?

    Just buy a new R8 and call it a day.

    yea something got sucked in. heres the wierd part. it was past the turbos so didnt hurt them. But I pulled a mangled ball of steel or at elast ferrous metal out of the intake. So im wondering if its part of a sensor or intake or no idea. whats wierd is its almost a pot metal type look. not like a nut or bolt or anything. ill post pics later
