Yeah I think the extra boost from the new ECU just blew it apart. Just so happened to go at the same time as the W/M kit was installed.

UMMM..............


So I don't know if anyone else did this wrong too... BUT I figured out what cause all my problems and it WAS in fact the W/M Kit.....

Here is what happened... When i was installing the W/M kit the nozzles have that little screen thing on them... WELL I guess those are NOT supposed to be put into the air stream... SO thats right apparently I put the nozzles' in upside-down and you guessed it one came off and got sucked through the engine... THUS bending an intake valve, destroying a piston and possibly the turbo... We can't see the turbo however so don't know for sure...

SO if anyone else made the stupid mistake like me of installing the nozzle upside-down, SWITCH IT ASAP!!!!!!!!

I called Devils own and they said "Sorry... we can't do anything..." It would have been nice if they showed some instructions on how the nozzle is supposed to me mounted for people like me who have not done one of these setups before.

SO yeah... this freaking freaking freaking sucks.

Really sorry for your luck, I would have to say that is the first time that has ever happened in 3 years. Nozzle mounting has not changed just the shape at the end of the nozzle.

But I will put up a sticky of the proper way to install it. Which is like this because the screen is to filter the fluid before the intake.

Here are some pictures of the damage... Can you guess which cylinder it was? And there is a bent valve but it's hard to see in the pictures.

Real bad luck bud, but i must admit i've sold 100's of kits and never heard of this before.

So, after looking at you pics, i'm still not sure of your damage ?

[JettaRed]

There is a lot of pitting on the piston surface and some valve contact, probably due to bent valves. No telling what the damage to the turbo is.

At least it isn't too bad. I wouldnt worry about the pitting, just get the valve sorted. Check you pipes incase it hasnt made it all the way through.

The guy is selling the car as soon as it's back together, he is so upset.

ok first off this really sucks what happened man but come on, just because YOU messed up doesnt mean a company should be responsible for it. pride is a mother$*%&^$ and trying to put this on devils own isnt the answer. honestly if i were to accomplish something as impressive as this the last thing i would do is post about it.

what did you expect them to say? "oh no, we are sorry that we sold a kit to someone with a low enough intelligence level to install the nozzles upside down."
