alright fixxed all problems so i thought the line going to the wastgate and blew off under 9 psi of boost and went upto alot of boost, so much i can turn the crank pulley with no problem at first i thought it was my fault but under fierther investigation the line was dry rotted. so what i want to do is should i rebuild or buy reman(i dont want to tear the engine down and have to eat a core charge) also i need a list of what Apex seals should i trust i was thinking Rotary aviation and what else would i need or should i get ? also i would be happy with 275-300hp at the flywheel i already have a microtech lt10-s. and i can do the rebuild my self.

that is your decision, if it was more of an engine related issue you would probably get more replies.

Did the motor pop you are saying? If thats the case you almost guaranteed need new housings. Even if it didnt pop the chances are that in a used motor the housings are worn and should be replaced any way. Plates may or may not be ok, you cant tell until you tear it apart.



Just go with Mazda apex seals, they are plenty good for your goals.
