    Turbo Size psi/volume

    ok, so its really late but im going to take a stab at explaining this in words everyone can understand.

    Blown head gasket have a few questions

    its a new factory head, put in 3k miles ago, somehow i doubt the valve stem seals are gone.....its just the same old oil in the coolant and oil in on the pistons again. my father helped me pay for my first BHG and he wouldn't allow me to put in a MHG/ARP's. but thats a different story

    '88 vs. STi/Modded WRX

    good kill, i ran sti with a catback when i had 3in turbo back and walked him all the way to 125, good race. The power problem sounds like ignition check your plugs and wires, are they stock? if so run 1-2 heat ranges colder and get some beefy wires. otherwise check all your sensors and CEL...
