Double check you're spark plugs, I've heard of the end getting really hot and dropping of and killing engines. Have you pulled the code from the ecu? That might point you in some kind of direction to look at.

Mine went bang after 3 weeks of buying it. Never got to the bottom of my failure, unfortunately! Check my thread out as I totally rebuilt my engine.

scary stuff as mines running stage 1 with 181,000 on and still drives perfect! .. sorry to hear your misfortune mate.. im guessing you was un able to find the culprit piece of debris ? .. have you got a ebay intercooler on ? maybe a poor quality weld inside broke off or something like that.
