Yeh, you can see the damage to top of the fourth tooth in my picture - but what the picture doesn't show is the base of the fifth tooth cracked and shifted sideways as well... did exactly what yours did - I thought I'd cracked a head or the exhaust at first from the BRRRAAAAAAPPPP!!! noise...

But it was awesome at PIR, coz you didn't drop to 1st for the sharp right hairpin, and would hold boost right up to the braking point for the sharp left without over-revving...
