Dealer replaced long block under warranty, citing a main bearing failure. No signs of a coolant leak. Turbos were deemed to be in good condition at the time. Low knocking sound one morning when backing out of the driveway. By the afternoon, the engine had seized on the highway.
No, water pump was not replaced.
LDPs and JB4. Stock boost levels 90% of the time. Other 10%, runs Avedis53's map 6 profile w/tapered boost above 5k rpms.
