Well first of all i have a 90 talon tsi awd well i bought the car and had some leak problems on the manifold so i decided on upgrading to the slowboy manifold, and well went on and buying some other parts: small16g, uicp with greddy type s bov, datalogger, safc II, walbro 255 high pressure fuel pump,2.75/3.00inch downpipe and all gaskets. well i finished the install and took out the car for some driving and the head gasket blew.... :cry: Well after that i parked the car againg and took off the head and installed a felpro headgasket. The car started perfectly so i moved the car around and parked it for a weekend. As I was going to install the exhaust since i was running open downpipe :shhh: well i had to go back to the garage so i was normal driving and all of the sudden the oil pressure went down and the car's temperature started going up, so I turned off the car immediately and took off the upper piping and there was alot of oil running throught the uicp, well now i don't know what to do either buy another 6 bolt or just rebuild mine with 2g pistons and going .20 over or just standard what do you guys think. Also the car came with the balance shaft eliminator kit and unorthodx crank pulley. Thanks for taking your time and reading this any help would be greatly appreciated :thumb:

Motor is going out this week either for rebuild or swap still thinking.... :confused:
 
are you sure its the motor. i am not saying you are wrong but when my turbo blew there was an insane amount of oil blowing through the intake piping. is the turbo still boosting?
 
yeah the turbo is boosting perfectly, no weird noises nor anything but the thing is that i'm taking out the engine so i can check the block and everything and i'll rebuild it anyways :thumb:
