Well decided to go back and try to continue tweaking the car today. Wanted to go all out first pass so i could go back home and watch the NCAA games.

First pass of the day 2 step 6k antilag 5200, loaded it on the ebrake. Then I screwed up I couldn't hold it still and rolled through the lights, timer is going I am creeping but I was waiting for the boost to come up where I wanted it. Let it go between 16-20psi and took off. Would have been a good 60 had the timers not started half a second earlier.

Next pass I didn't come out on enough boost and bogged it hard, about half track car started getting real swirly and I saw steam from under the hood. I let out just past the 1000' car was all over the place. Pulled it around and I had lifted the head it seems, filled the overflow and was spraying on the l/f tire.

Guess for me I have reached the limits of this MLS with no Oring, passes where made at between 36-37 PSI. Pulling the head and oringing it this week
 
O-ring sounds like a good plan.
Have you looked into marco's head studs? I'd be pretty interested to hear any sort of details on them.

Any details or pictures of your car? I was hoping to see some more MPH out of this turbo, think its got alot more left?
 
There is a lot more left in the turbo. This is only the 3rd and 4th pass on the setup, still trying to dial it in.
 
Well hey you know what they say.
"If your not breaking parts, your not going fast enough!"

No matter what that seems like an extremely decent pass for the 3rd and 4th passes on a new setup. Get it fixed up and keep going for it!
