after i blew two hgs i decieded i had had enough so now i am building the bottom end, but using the mahle pistons with the stock cy. Joey it really wasn't that expensive, $2000, and will save you lots of headachs in the future, you may want to think about that route for the road ahead.

btw, i love your kill stories, makes me want to get my project back on the road as soon as possible.

thx

yea I will build the bottom eventually. I am going to be running 12psi for low boost and 20 for his, rather then 21psi all the time, maybe that will extend the life of the HR more

my first one lasted about 8000miles, but the secound one lasted 3000 miles. I think running the lower boost should help, but we all know how much you like those highway runs so i forsee you pushing that beast to 20 lbs on more than a few occasions. lol
