It looks like his return line leaked oil onto the exhaust manifold and it all lit up. He had a bigger turbo with aftermarket return lines.

thats what i jsut noticed.. looking at the vid.. return line must have blown and oil ignited on the manifold. that sucks soo bad..i guess one of them ran over and got a extinguisher from a place across the street.but if u watch the movie.. he is showing that its empty.. must have not been recharged in a while.

I knew he had "enough NOS to blow himself up"

lol, i feel bad for the guy, but same happened to my friends mercury, the egr clogged for some reason and started burning the heatshield(dont ask me how, but it was), thank god we put it out with some water nearby.

My pcv once clogged and almost caused a fuel leak

Total insurance job. 10000% It was rigged. I bet you the basterd didnt get 1 cent for it either. Totally fixed. NOBODY would believe that, MABYE..but not after that over done camera work. Guy prolly torched it cuz he couldnt afford it.

So after he spent over 5000usd on a bigger turbo, wheels, exterior mods, suspension mods, etc... he can't afford it?
He woulda made most of his money back parting the car out and returning it back to stock, or just selling it with the mods.
