boost problems
update....theres white smoke coming from my breather filter at idle...this indicates massive blow by...my boost gauge fluctuates, anyone selling pistons and rings???i cant afford new ones
How much were you boosting?
What were your AFRs/Timing in boost?
EGT temps?
Sorry to hear about the engine troubles.
Just gives you a chance to do it bigger and better =)
If your gonna have the pistons and rings changed.
You might as well get upgraded aftermarket ones. At least I think so. Oh and some new race bearings, and a cometic head gasket.
