Well that blows man.. sorry to hear

This means 88mm T6 going on? Between you and Stout, my poor little T4 will be outclassed

Provided that it's not something simple like an intake gasket, yes it will be turbo time. But I don't think you have any thing to worry about. I'll have it broke in no time

Damn man... Im sorry. Hoping for the best...

I pulled over on the return road and found the breather cap had came off, the dipstick tube( lokar with the o-ring) had pushed out, engine bay was soaked in oil and burning off the headers. I let it cool for a minute and started to head back to the trailer and stopped twice to let it cool off. By the time I got it loaded on the trailer, oil was migrating out of the exhaust.
So it sounds like I'm in finally done these pistons then. Best case scenario is I blew an intake gasket and sucked in a bunch of oil on decel. That really doesn't explain the dipstick tube being pushed out. I'm going with mass quantities of blow by.
Crazy part about it is it was actually running really well on the big end. I was only about 5 miles per hour off of my best trap time but a full second off of my best et. Oh well, I guess it's time to build the turbo setup. 2 months before the shootout, why would I have it any differently?

Thumbs up for turbo build, I can't thumbs down for the blow up. That sucks man.

Eh I'm pretty much used to this anymore. I may pop a stock rebuild in for the time being so I can still drive it.

Join the club. Like I talked to you it could be as simple as a intake gasket. I think you would be more likely to do that then burn 2 pistons up on a bank to bank issue.

Cylinder pressure test will tell

I'll find out tomorrow. Almost home from dropping off the trailer and I'm done for the day

Get some rest man... hit it fresh on ur next day off...

I hear ya on that. I may do the same. Also have a buddy willing to help me out with a cast crank 5.7 rod 383 for cheap, lookin to pick it up in 2 weeks just so it's mobile a little longer. My car has been parked more in the year of owning it than driven. I put 1400 miles on it since I bought it :(
