I also had this same problem on my 2g. One day after about a minute of warming up the engine started misfiring and I had no choice but to drive it the rest of the short distance home. I knew it was cyl 2 misfire because i unpluged the injector and nothin changed. I checked the spark and was...

So if you can make 400+ on a 2.0 with 8.0:1 compression on a 16g, anyone with a 2.3 stroker and 9.0 compression ratio should make more than 400whp exp on a bigger turbo like a 20g or fp green right? My question is has anyone made 400 whp on a true 16g? If so how many people have done it less...

So my 99 gst wasnt branded DSM does that make it not a DSM? I think not.:nono:

When i had oil leaking from that location it was because i wasnt using a slightly larger crushwasher, once i put one the correct size one it was leak free but be careful with overtightening the adapter that screws onto the turbo and stripping it.

What this guy said contradicts what everyone else here is saying so im thinking majority rules. Good info on this thread for when its my turn to break my engine in thanks everyone.

If its a real Bushur its a TD0H6 because thats what they all used according to some research ive done on their website.

I have one of these manifolds i recently bought it used and have no idea what the brand is but it seems to be good quality material and has no cracks i only paid 70 bucks shipped so I figured its worth it. i cant really notice a power increase but it probably gives better spool because the...

How do you figure its a head gasket or a leak if hes not losing coolant and is only a slight overheating.

Id start with a coolant system FLUSH because that will remove scale and grime from your cooling system then add fresh coolant. If your still having problems look into a thermostat, radiator, and in worse scenarios a bad water pump (not likely in your case).

To check if its a boost leak issue turn your boost down to about 10 pounds or as low as itll go and if your problem is no longer present, you have a boost leak or your exceeding the limits of your setup so turn down the boost. And for those who said a boost leak doesnt feel like hitting a brick...

Agreed, i dealt with this bullcrap too.

I had this problem too it was when i had it in first and tried to start moving it popped out, i had to take off from 2nd gear for a while because of it. Turns out it was my 1st and 2nd gear hub sleeve was worn. I got a rebuild and is flawless now. Look into a rebuild since your saying your 3rd...

What if the leak was between the ex. manifold and the turbo and it was a decent size leak (1 stud broken). On a 2g with a 16g turbo and stock exhaust could it beneficially relieve some backpressure once the turbo is already spooled up at WOT?

That sounds pretty crazy for a stock system to run 22 with a 16g mines cutting at around 15 or 16psi

ok i thought that would be the case of getting more voltage thus working harder and louder. however i think its weird that the one guys fuel pump got quieter.
