i have a head that cam with a car but don't know what it is worth or what gen head it is. tell me what to look for and we can work something out.

not knocking the test but is one test the end all be all of oils and 4g's?

I think i would check it out before you just buy a turbo. does it have any shaft play?

I don't like the zip tie of the belt to the cams. it is easy for the belt to skip a tooth or two on the crank pulley... when was the last timing belt on the car? might as well put a new belt on with the head gasket.

nice times man that thing is movin.

cam timing is with the timing belt make sure all your timing marks are right.

yeah id really check cam timing not ignition timing. the fact that it spools to fast and has poor power i bet your cams are off.

chambers and pistons look fine to me.

yes i mis-read that when it was posted that the Evo 8 had it and thought some DSM's had a clutch style.

I would better to double check it

I see. I guess I misread that when they said the 8 had it..... so how would you know if you have the "premium package"

I tell people it is my wife's car LOL

Did a search and did see any but are there any common draws that kill batteries on these cars?

did you check it with a second gauge? I guess I'd make sure so your not dropping oil pressure that isn't high. to me it would be worth the time to double check it.

I would check cam timing too. I have had to help people with this after they did timing belts on other DOHC cars
