Sorry for that, but did you remaped car? This is a "must" if you change exhaust components. Motors blew'n on several test cars in Italy just for this reason, because they want some sound (without remap).

sounds like you dropped the clutch the wrong way at the track and blew out the mounts, and as far as the exhaust with no mapping, very bad. Did you ever throw a Check Engine light for overboosting? If you kept going WOT and overboosting you could have damaged the internals due to the fuel cut going on so many times.

don't go to gruppe-s.
Check with GSTMotorsports, talk to Mike and he'll help you out.
You can PM them on here or check their website www.gstmotorsports.com
(btw, Mike is who made the Gruppe-S reputation...until they ****ed it all up)

it might not have brought the CEL up, but I know a turbo back will lower the compression in the exhaust which will mess up the wastegate cycle and cause the turbo to spool up way to high for what the computer wants it to. Go with that Subyn00by said and check with Mike at GST. If he cant fix it, but a new car.
