blew the head gasket at track
here is the story, I was tunning my fuel managment computer all day friday. And was pretty happy with the way it was running. But i notice when i got on it it would start breaking down and when i looked at the boost it was hitting 15 and my wastegate spring is only a 8. So i get to the track and pull the wastegate apart And find that a screw had fallen out and the wastegate was sticking shut. So after searching and begging people for allen wrenches i got it all straight. And made a pass. And the head gasket is blow. That is head gasket #3. I am now sure that a stock headgasket cant handle 10.5:1 compression and 8psi of boost. I am going to look into a inline-pro headgasket.

i already got a new one on the way 3 day delivery. I am going to try the comtec mls gasket it is suppose to be for turbo cars. The best i have gotten was a 13.07 @107mph that was in 85 degree weather and not tuned real well. It will go high 12's

Re: blew the head gasket at track
built block and you are only running 8 psi? hopefully when you get that head gasket you up that shit to 15psi or so. I run 10psi daily on my y7/z6 mini, and its a stock block with like 100k on it
