  1. It would be interesting to know why it catched fire. Probably oil or fuel leaking on top of turbo or some electrical fault?

  2.  @piuthemagicman  Powder style extinguisher is basically death sentence to any car. If you use powder style extinguisher in passanger car for the engine in the front, you'll typically find powder inside the real light wiring connectors, too. It gets to everywhere. And the bad part is that the powder is corrosive if you let it stay for extended periods. In practice it's so expensive to get rid of all the powder that the vehicle is basically totalled every time you use powder extinguisher. You can get it running but the body will start rusting in a couple of years and you'll have lots of electrical connectors failing in a few years, too.
