Grundy,

First I like to say I'm sorry ahead of time for all the stupid/silly questions I'm going to ask not only now but in the future.
I dont know a great deal about the turbo system but I'm trying to educate myself.
Ok, I got my car back from the guy that installed the turbo, but he didnt put it on right.
He said my head gasette blew so I need to replace that, but my question is, should I hear the BOV when I rev up my engine while the car is idiling? With a blown head gasette?
Also, from what he told me Im getting 8psi but only 5 at the end.
How could I be lossing 3psi? He said he looked everywhere for a leak and there was none.
So I dont know what to do about the lost power other then buy a MBC and turn up the boost.
He also put my FMU under the car in the back near the exhaust....I looked at other peoples set up and they put theres near the fuel rail under the hood.
Boy, I'm lost.
If anyone has any advice, any whats so ever, Im very thankful to you.
Ill have lots of more questions latter..
I'm attached a few pictures of the turbo set up on my car.
Im trying to line things out.
My Fuel and oil gauge are hooked up wrong, but I think I can hopfully find the answer to how to install them with the handy "search" button on this site.
Is there a write up on that with lots of pictures showing how on the internet anywhere?
Oh, and sorry for the spelling....I couldnt get spell check to work.
