It was running abouty 1.4 bar of boost so whatever that equates to mate.

With regard to mechanical sympathy driving at a very most 100 MPH on the M11 is not IMO unreasonable for a engine of that spec

When it was running, it was great, I had very little use out of it as i mentioned earlier as ax and MOt needed doing.

My reference to mechanical sympathy was a poor attempt in trying to lighten the situation, I wasn't suggesting your driving had caused the failure whatever it may be.

Sorry mate, didn't know you'd blown the engine.

Can't believe your luck with this, hope it changes soon.
