NormSky, it seems based on your comments across several threads that you do not like DDM/their products. I suppose if everyone had a Hahn turbo setup like yours no one would ever have any trouble.
I don't think fingerpointing/downing or glorifying any particular setup at this point is helping anyones situation, as Critterman said shit happens. I chose DDM because they had an application for an automatic at the time where as Hahn did not. As I said before that's the chance you take when you make major modifications, it could & does happen no matter which product you choose.

And how many of the LNF that failed were still stock?

Just DDM Supercharged ones like Byron and Jimmy.

Don't look at me for an excuse!  My 2.4 has been DDM S/C for ~75,000 mi.   (I am at 106,500 mi. presently.)

I know winter gas in the NE gets oxygenated or winter gas which has lower octane rating. This is the first winter I've monitored KR and mine has been lighting up allot this winter. Just wonder if it's something the major gasoline companies done that changed or the tune in a DDM setup. Hahn very early had to make adjustments to lower octane setups.


Just trying to find the root cause, regardless who is at fault. I'm not covering for anyone. We, LE5 owners, all benefit in the end.
