Red face Boom*.... Waiting leak down test`s

well it happen`d....

well i really am not sure what it is at this point. could be a blown motor (doubt it), head gasket, or the turbo went.... lot and lots of white/blue smoke... didnt really feel anything, still makes power. but it is followed by plumes of smoke.

wont really know anything untill the leak down test. hopefully it is the turbo, since i already have a new 35r waiting to go on.

if it is the head gasket, witch i could see going. i have a new one that is an aftermarket piece that is a lot stronger than stock, and the STI one is pretty beefie, new limited edition ARP head studs that are super strong, and if it is a piston.... well i will be doing new pistons, rods, matched and blue printed, and havent decided on head work yet..... i know i would benifit greatly from it. but i dont know if i want to spend the $$$$$$


here is a short clip, it happend on the next pull..... i was shifting in to 6th as i passed him.... this is on a closed road called pumkin road out in BFE. and it was 7am on saturday morning. i will be doing a drive out there as soon as my car is up. i will have a map up later.


i have about 40 minutes of video to shift through, this is a funny clip....but extreamly dangerous, he was pretty close to the road when i passed so do not attempt.

yea, he lanned right on his ass.... Sooo funny, but dangerous. i yelled at him for standing so close to the road.... ahh well.

yea if it is a piston (doubt it) i will do rods, pistons one over, ballenced and blue printed, at the same time as the turbo....

Hope it's the turbo. The positive thing here is that it's still making power.

no coolent loss, no tempiture spikes, it will make plenty of boost..... one time i had to step on it cause a damn semi tryed to run me off the road cause someone cut him off, made like 20psi no issues but smoke.
