i can rev it slow or fast does just fine. i've left the wastegate vaccum line off by accident and it pegged off the gauge. I had to limp it home, hitting 8psi to maxing the stock gauge. I don't think its a boost leak. its been doing this for a while only getting worse over time. i've...

I unplugged the afm and it idled but reved like crap. while on, i plugged it back in and was able to free rev.

I heard that.. moving on, I've got a question regarding the MAF meter. can anyone pull it off of the car and it stay running(not unplugged, just off the tube)?

nope, smooth and clean.

stock 7psi.

stock boost gauge says I'm at 7psi. cheezy afr gauge says I'm pegged rich. I do have a check engine light but its from a coolant temp sensor. san antonio, tx

its soo bad i need a jug by the muffler to catch the gas spewing out(not litterally-but freaking close). I'm at a loss for what is going on. Mods- egr delete copper head gasket .050 thick ARP head studs electric fan aftermarket air filter w/adapter after 1st cat 3in exhaust pipe car...

It shouldn't split, the copper is soft enough to move around. It now become that the car is having drivability issues due to fraying wiring harness and unknown condition of the sensors operating properly. That and annoying amounts of wheel hop.

Summit Racing sells them, .043 thick ~ p/n 92104 ~ 115.00 .062 thick ~ p/n 92106 ~ 145.95 they have other thicknesses, but you have to call them. As it is, they're out of stock on the ones I listed. *CAUTION!* I followed their directions and they're recommended SPRAY ON gasket...

My father runs a performance shop, mainly for muscle cars. I've been working on getting more import parts in, but mainly name brands. I bought the gasket from one of his vendors.

Okay, car is running and not smoking. However, shes just not running right. Starts up fine and revs with appropriate throttle response. when I go for a drive, it won't pass 4k rpm. in ANY gear. It feels strong from idle to 2500rpm. once it starts to boost power falls. I checked the TPS...

yes, sir you win the gold star. I hadn't realized that the machining would be difficult but it was in San Antonio. There are a few shops that can o-ring, but when I showed them the head, they said it couldn't be done. One of my customers referred me to another place I hadn't heard of. The...

San Antonio, originally. lived in Dallas for a while then moved back home. Car resides in Somerset. I have room to bring home now, but had too many cars in the driveway. that was the idea. The goal was 400whp, but I may go a bit further with it. Its suppose to be my toy, but its going to...

pics of the o-ringing? or the engine bay? can take some this weekend. I don't drive it daily yet, but will be this weekend. I not sure if its in my head or not, but it feels a tad slower. I'm running a slightly thicker than stock gasket, lowering the compression to roughly 8.0:1. That and...

Anyone else running one of these? I just got mine on, finally. Drove the car approx. 20mi so far, on stock boost. No problems yet, but will be cranking it up to 12psi in another week or two. Anyone have comments of wisdom, or what to expect? Just as an fyi, I also had the head o-ringed, in...

its not a jdm engine. it didn't need the oil pan gasket or timing belt but i wasn't about to chance it. so ya'll feel that having small sprays of oil coming out of my bov would be rings? usually oil will burn at idle to mild throttle and letting off. leaving it to rings and valve seals...

can't be rings, engine has 70-80k miles on it. turbo has 175k++ miles. already pick'd up a spare turbo for 100$. has 30-40k miles on it. no shaft play.

yeah, my thoughts exactly.
