Im not saying he cut corners but i was at the scale when he teched he was saying something about oil/fuel coming out when it idled it was a mess on the window/hood. He had a really impressive run till the sled pulled the shutoff that sled has a hard time stopping the top trucks you its nothing to see a 400 foot run on that sled
The resadue in tech is fuel...it was chilly out and the truck dispersece heat very well ( even with the fans off) so to idle for a while for engine temp to come up it over fuels ( big pump/big injectors/ tons of timeing) i shut the truck down a few times before tech witch did not help the over fuel at idle while cold issue.so when i throttle up to get to tech the un burnt fuel in the exhaust slowly blows out.(thats what was leaking from the stack at teck) not oil just fuel. The builder designer of this set up ran the almost identical setup for years in his own truck...it does not like being cold.(he ashured me it was ok and when the weather is warmer it will be much happyer)
The reson the truck stays idleing is because of a 3/8 hole in the air knife to alow some air for idle.(and was to hopefully alow enuff air to keep this from blowing the turbo)
Aftor the pull the truck pumped oil from the turbo(blown) into the intercooler(cracked from turbo pieces flying into it) oil leaked out
The original thout was the oil leaking from pressure when the airkill was pullerd,as i pulled off the track all oil pressure droped .thays when i found that the turbo was realy just pushing. Oil into the intercooler and the turbo was trashed.

I have seen other guys do this (mostly because their release pin sticks through that hole), but I have to question: are air shutoffs with a hole really legit from a safety perspective?
And it didn't help the charger in this case, so....
Not trying to be judgemental or anything but it seems like a knife with a hole in it isn't going to totally kill the motor, which is kinda the point of having it in the first place. Or no?
Any reason for the guy to dislike you? It's crazy to think it was an accident. But I don't know what it is like so I have no dog in that fight.
I guess with what you know now you probably should have had it pulled off, live in and learn brother! Either way bud hopefully no unseen damage.
have had what pulled off ?
Maybe had the truck pulled back to the pit, it probably pumped it full of oil.
