I'll bet more boost would just make the ring condition worse. Not to mention burning oil will gum up the turbine wheel and throw it out of balance.
I'll pull the head and oil pan off, pull out the pistons and see what I'm working with
The engine was fine all last season.
I bought the car with ~9000kms on it and it hasn't blown blue smoke until this year.
I don't care if it blows up to be honest...it's been parked until I can get it fixed again...no sense in driving a car who's performance decreases every day.
I should've added that I seem to have higher than normal crankcase pressure b/c my IC pipes are coated in oil and the PCV piping and intake pipe usually has an abnormal amount of oil in them. (IMO, broken rings would allow boost to leak into the crankcase).
Also, the wideband has been...
I should've known to never buy a car with a "built" engine...you'll just get bent over in the end.
Did a compression test today on the car b/c I noticed it was blowing blue smoke after it idled for a few minutes and it would blow blue after I hit boost (~15psi on a GT35R)
Compression...
Car is lowered on H&R springs. I had 285/35/18s on there last year, this year I'm running 245/40/18s...no issues with either size tire. 3" lip, I think.
