The car didnt blow up. I just lifted the head gasket. I know honda didnt intend the car for boost. The car lasted a year making that power. I think it got plenty of use. I was anything but easy on the car. It did me well. I could take the easy way out, and just replace the head gasket and call it a day. But i will build it, stud it, and replace it with a better gasket. Boost and a 100k + mile engine is like playing with fire. But i like messing with the car and dont mind spending the money to play. So it blew up, now i will build it
