I had my first dyno run yesterday. While my car was on the dyno that happened, and the pipe connected to the throttle body popped off. We had to remove and reinstall the full system in 5 hours, which was kind of a feat. I'll post more info later as I'm in a hurry, but I'm wondering what that discharge was, and if I should be worried. Also, when I removed my tensioner pulley, oil started coming out of the top bolt hole. What does that mean? Did my head lift off or something while I was on the dyno?

If your head lifted you would have coolant lol not oil.
I m confused on what your asking or what your talking about?
are you burning oil from the oil feed line into the blower? do you have 2 crush washers on the feed bong?

I'm not burning oil. I'm not sure what that discharge is in the video, that's the question I had about the head.
The oil coming out of the hole was the threaded hole for the top mounting bolt on the tensioner pulley.

morning bump. Does anyone know what that discharge at the end is, or why oil was coming out of that hole?

Probably just hot compressed air, maybe with a little bit of crankcase blowby mixed in. I wouldn't worry about it.
Did you get to dyno after you got it back running?
