On my old FC I passed some jack ass in a Cherokee, quite calmly too. I was just cruising in 5th and then as I'm passing him he hits the pedall too. WTF? so I give it full throttle and then ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, I hit fuel cut. No blown engine luckily but the guy is still a jack ass. Sorry, a little off topic, continue...

mine hasn't blown and i've had it for almost a year now. you just have to be smart about it. buy an aftermarket boost gauge so you can monitor how much boost you are pushing. keep any creep below 12 and watch the 2-gear downshifts (which really cause major creep) and you should be fine.

I would really really really reccommend a FD pump or walbro when you go with the RB exhuast. The stock t2 fuel pump, is the first weak link in the fuel system.

cheked the compression...there is none in the front rotor..the rear one is fine so im **** out of luck..time to buy a port and polished engine i guess

Don't stop with just the new motor. Be sure you upgrade your fuel system with at least a better pump, port your wastegate, and get a boost gauge. If you don't, you'll just be doing this again real soon.

Although mine's an N/A ... does that mean there's pretty much nothing to worry about?

I highly doubt you will be able to run an N/A lean enough to blow it by adding an exhaust. Hell I don't think you could blow up an any with every bolt-on made for your car.

the na has a big fuel system if anything you need to lean it out
