well as some of you people know i have bhg as of now go figure stuiped 87 octain and dumb as friend any way

any ways since i am on tight spot and my old race motor is torn apart and need my car for this summer and tad low on money


i have spaer 2 mill titana hg i was think on dropping this in in place of the stock oem gasket

but this will drop my comption alot i figure about 8 flat ish

now has any one really done this befor and hows your spool this is my main conser as of right now

i know with thicker gasket i can push higher boost but is it really worth it and be much more gental on the stock bottom end

instead of going to stock size gasket witch will add more strain



all in all i bounch between the 2 one i have all ready the other i will ahve to order


ps power goal is about 450 to 500

Are you still on the CT? If your tight on money go ahead with the Titan 2.0.

Actually since your wanting to make around 450-500hp anyway the CT won't cut it so you must be using a bigger turbo requiring more boost so the 2.0 is great option for you right now.

A 67 is gonna be laggy either way, but with the boost your gonna run on that turbo you'll benefit from the lower compression and its an easier route for you right now.

It wont spool at all. Mainly because you'll accidentally plumb the fuel rail to the turbo oil feed lines, and the oil feed lines to the rail.

Otherwise it'll be just peachy.

Now give me back my case lucky lager you cock.

On a more serious note:

Like I've told you before just hurry up and use the titan. You have it, shave your head to bump your comp a smidge, then you'll be sitting happy and wont need stupid boost to make up for your engines lack of power. Oh and make sure not to run a blow off valve. :biglaugh:

Shave the block as well, make it smooth enough for the Titan to seal.

That thing have rivets in it? Get rid of them.

You can't calculate the comp. until you get the block and head back from the machine shop.

If you don't do both, then the gasket sealing is just a crap shoot.
