Well I finally did a compression test on my car, and 1 apex seal on each rotor is at 50psi, vs the others at 100.. That explains the excessive turbo lag, full boost by 6k...



So I'm going to rebuild it, good thing I have experience with bigturbo rebuild



I want a half bridge port too, maybe have bdc do it for me, and upgrade the rest of the **** inside..



And a t66 or to4r

Holy **** dude...that sucks. When I saw the topic title, I was like "nah...cant be his car"...



Well, go w/ a full bridge you *****, lol. I'm goin w/ a full bridge whenever I pay off some bills and such, then I'm gonna find a blown T2 and swap my motor into it..thats the future plan.





Best of luck to ya!

Probably not even worth it, since Jspecs are so hard to get and I don't want to wait around looking for another ******* motor. Even tho I do have a backup t2 motor But its only going to cost me $500 to rebuild it with new apex seals and such, I'm going to try those new protype ones out . And I want big ports anyhow! Not a huge deal, but I'm getting rid of that hyrbid turbo/t2 hood/polished uim ported tb etc. Time for some big upgrades

Yea I did, its a aspec motor. But I'm saying If i send it back, they don't have another motor. I'll just suck it up and get some more rebuilding practice.. Gotta have experience if i want my own shop..
