All things being equal,what would cause oil seal to blow? After no or low boost found a plugged cat on a well built 3" system. no smoke yet. Cut off exhaust at cat and ran with just a turn down that solved boost problem.But after driving a while started excessive smoking. (Son got ticket for...

Is that something I can do myself? Or should I send it somewhere ? Also can in be reliable? I think the 400 HP is plenty for this engine. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Going to need to rebuild this. i think the previous owner said it was 60 trim. From what I've read its the least dependable upgrade.There is some play up and down. I want your advice on whats the best way to go with this. I don't need the biggest,baddest turbo,I just want it to be dependable...
NGK BCPR6ES @ .031.After many searches I have found #1 bad ISC,#2 spark plug wires (new) bad,loose on plug. #3 coilpack#1/6 within spec but when i pull plug wires when running # 6 plug wire has no effect in miss. So i used another plug and old wire, runs better. Set ISC with a little opening so...

Wow, Thats good to know! I thought that it was to much boost and not enough fuel? So I don't need expensive forged pistons? just the right ring gap? You can see in the cylinder that the bottom of the stroke where the rings expanded. Wouldn't it expand and scrape along the whole bore?
I don't know for sure where these came from, But they have less than 500 miles on them. Three of them had cracks or broken like this. I just got car and didn't touch any settings or drive hard. It always smoked and had one cylinder low on compression. the other pic is of a stock piston with and...
