just out of curiosity how many people blew there motor after going turbo? i know there is alot of info on here related but i just wanna get a general idea of what people have done, forged vs stock and low boost under 10psi. i know forged is by far the way to go but is it for sure you will blow your motor if you dont even with low boost? i hear alot of mixed stories so im asking those who know and have been through it. ive got a 98 rs which is modded to the t. .020 over 8.8:1 compression, forged internals, oversized valves, everything that can be ported and polished is 115000 miles. 200 across the board. i know this would be my best bet at turboing however i reciently picked up a 98 gs fully loaded and stock as the day it was purchased, also has 120,000 miles and timing belt was just replaced with al components. 185-190 compression across. no apparent leaks. my question is if i put a turbo kit (Hahn or star)on this car and stay low like 6-7 psi what are the chances in this motor going?i been around long enough to know there is no guarantee but im just looking for general info from those who know. what do you think?
