I've never seen a factory turbo car without dished pistons, strike one. Upgraded rockers? Sorry I know 500 WHP engines running factory rockers from the 2.2 engine. Strike 2. And head re-inforcements, well all I can say is I ran a factory gasket and factory bolts on 22-25 PSI and 300 WHP, so there goes that theory. Strike 3, you're out. Seems to me like you really know what you're talking about.

WAIT! I still have not seen a stock car with a turbo with out dished pistions. ALL turbos come a dished piston! SO...CHECK 1 for me!!! ALSO...I have a friend that works for audi in Parma ohio, thoes cars have audis and that car does have a head reinforcements.Thats 2 for me now! About that strike three....lol...I would like to see your head on your car. I bet you it is leaking or the gasket looks like hell. I have people that work on cars for a living, seems like you dont. you may be running 22-25 psi or when you decide to change it, thats what you said before, but it sounds like a broke down want to be ricer. I have seen 3 turbos on cars before as well, but do you really think that engine will run for a long time?? NO!!!!! You car run 100psi for all i car, but lets see your cars engine last a long time. whenever you put mor stress on a cars engine, less time the engine will run right. the cars that come with a turbo or superchargers, the engine was built for it. None of this add on crap. SO.....you do what you want, run 22-25 or what ever psi you want, i will see you on the side of the road like i see other little ricers and as i go bye them, i just have a big smile on my face. Do what you want, dont let me stop you!

Holy crap, my whole point was that turbo engines come with dish pistons, you said earlier that the engine would NEED dished pistons. Somehow in your warped mind you twisted it around in your favor.
And what ''reinforcements'' do these audi's have? Please explain oh knowledgable one.
Sorry, 15K miles later on my engine boosting 22+ PSI and the compression test showed flawless results. No leakage here, and if my gasket looked like ''hell'' it would be leaking coolant into the oil. It's not doing that either.
How can stand there and say boosting 20+ PSI will make your engine not last 2K miles when first of all I have done it and hundreds of others have too? Did you not click on the link I posted awhile back? Tons of people on that forum are boosting 20+ PSI on daily drivers.
There were 2 times I broke down on the side of the road, one time I ran out of gas and the other was electrical issues that I figured out on the side of the road and got on my way. NOTHING to do with the engine EVER.
One more thing BTW. At about 8K miles I upgraded my turbo, you have to take the head off to do so since the turbo is in the back. The cylinders and pistons looked normal, head looked perfect, and the headgasket looked brand new. The only way a headgasket would look like ''hell'' is if it was blown, never done that so I guess I don't know what it looks like LOL. BTW, boost does NOT blow a gasket, detonation does. Detonation happens one of 2 ways, lack of octane or lack of fuel. There's turbocharging 101 for you.

Yeah, everytime I ask for REAL facts from you, you don't pony up. Truth is you have no idea what ''reinforcements'' you are talking about. And look back at what you wrote before, you stated that the engine needed dished pistons. And then you say all turbo engines come with dish pistons, but only after I tell you that.
Oh guess what, not all turbo engines come with dish pistons. I did that to fool you and see if you would play along like you have 2 other times and agree with me saying you already knew that. BS buddy, you don't know JACK $hit about turbo engine so STFU. I hope your bone stock slowass car blows the head because I know mine won't
It's been fun making you look like a moron. opcorn:

Oh yeah, damn how did you find all this time posting up twice in one night? You know, since you have a ''real'' job and stuff.
