3.5 MONTHS
5 PSI
ROD THROUGH BLOCK
I RAN NITROUS ON THE MOTOR BEFORE THE TURBO, SO THAT MIGHT HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT. JUST LISTEN FOR KNOCKS, BUT IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT I WOULD DEFINETLY BUILD THE ENGINE

Wow, over 3 years and still going strong, thats pretty cool! You guys must baby your rides pretty well.

Once I get a kit I am going to baby the hell out of my car. Better safe than sorry.

I also did so for over 3 years, almost 4, summer of 99 to the summer of 03. I did it for almost 37k miles.

Now, I'm built, but my stock internalled engine went the whole way without a hitch and is still sitting in my garage with a compression check of 175-180 all the way across.

I did NOT baby my car. I still don't . I mean, I turbo time her, and always change the oil, make sure my EGT's are in check, never over boost and so on, but I drive her hard. Every day. I mean...it's too damn fun not to. WISH I had the maturity to grandma the car.
