    Now if that happened right after the new turbo was fitted you would be wondering about weather the new turbo caused it.

    well tore it down yesterday blew the headgasket on #2 cylinder. either the headbolts stretched or the liner droped. havent checked the liner height yet. i think with the high boost and the extreme conditions i run it under it couldnt take the pressure so with kurts insight and my pocket book im converting to a single turbo with the lower compresion pistons and a few other things. IT'S ONLY MONEY! anyone want to buy some acert parts??
