what do you mean hook it up like its supposed to be? youd be stupid to hook it up to the charge pipe. anyways, she blew so i need a new motor now

1-180psi
2-160psi
3-40psi
4-100psi

think its alright to still bad and mess up the motor more. ill buy a new one in the spring. or is all that oil its buring going to mess up the turbo and map sensors. on second thought ill just park it.

and alot of times when u mess up your engine cylinders 3 and 4 usually go first....because it takes the longest time for the fuel to travel threw the rail to those cylinders....resulting in those cylinders leaning out before the others

alot of people actually get aftermarket pistons and rods with the stock sleeves? it costs to much damn money to sleeve it. so id be alot with just pistons and rods? how much could i boost with 9:1 pistons and forged eagle rods?

...cause light blue smoke comes out of my valve cover breather at high rpms 6-8k ish. I think its normal.. i mean that engine is hot under boost, some oil is bound to burn off.

i would comrpession and leakdown to confirm

can you see the smoke when your just driving? how do you know its smokeing from the breather?
