Without wanting to be the bearer of bad news, Thats what mine did, turned out to be crank bearings, hence current rebuild going on
Mines a turbo 2000 x plate on 76k miles, what mileage u got?
thought it would be was ya power still there tho wen yours went got 123000 not long ad heads done either gutted m8
Yeah power was still there, like u say under full load you dont here it but espicially if u rev under the bonnet with the throttle cable gently u can hear it, mines having a full rebuild at the moment, havind cossie gaskets and acl race bearings which should hopefully make it reliable for a good while now!
I must say though I ran mine like that for a good 3 or 4 months with the boost upped to 16-17psi with a dreaded bleed valve and gave it a lot of stick and it still never missed a beat, only decided to get it done because I thought its gotta go pop sometime!!!

Is there any way you can record it and put the sound up,its also possible you have a noisey water pump,in which case if it siezes it snaps your cam belt
alcazar, does that mean you've had 2 separate incidences of a bottom end going (the other being ragging away from that tollgate in France in hot weather)????
