How far do you wanna go with your boost?,I'd drive it like you stole it at 9 psi(tuned),and use only oem head gaskets if she blows...

 

I believe the 8.5:1 thicker low compression head gasket is OEM. I already have all the tuning stuff professionally installed at the shop along with a wideband that I will keep my eye on but everyone still telling me my motor will blow up?



My plan for next year is to buy a low mileage motor and build it then swap my motor when its all complete thats why I'm looking for internal parts.

 

Dude, I'm just gonna parrot what I've seen said hundreds of times over on these forums. If you want to get cheap parts, get ready to replace them often. Save up your cash and get quality stuff that is known to stand up to what is thrown at it. If you wanted cheap parts, perhaps you shouldn't have gone turbo.

 

The head gasket is not oem its a spacer you put one head gasket on each side of the spacer

 

is that a serious post faith? you really put a headgasket on each side of the spacer whats the deal?

 

Yep true story

 

The Turbo Spacer requires you to run two gaskets, you have to seal both sides of it!



Point less... Makes you have to run more boost, to make the same horsepower then, worry about two gasket blowing up lol!!!!

 

its not even the 2 gaskets that make me nervous



its the fact that with the (iirc 4mm) spacer, you still use stock head bolts

 

HAHA that is true, why would you do that anyway. still using the same pistons and rods, you still cant or wouldnt want to make much more than 300whp.. All you are doing is going to make the turbo have to do more work to make the same WHP...
