okay, i just installed a turbo xs high performance mbc 2 days ago. i'm boosting 15 psi on the evo 3 and a 255lph fuel pump. i have had no problems until tonight. after driving for about an hour, when i shifted, my type s would go off and the whole car would buck. at first i thought it was because i havent adjusted my bov since upping the boost from 5 psi. but as i kept driving, i decided to try boost one more time to see if it would do it again, and my car bogged out through first with no spool up, no boost, and it was loud as hell. i'm running on the rich side, but when i popped the hood, my exhaust manifold (stock) was glowing. i'm kind of wondering what it could be considering everything was fine yesterday. i could really use some help. thanks! OMG
 
ok i think i found the problem. i took out my thermostat and found oil in the housing :mad:. i think my head gasket is blown. i'm going to get it compression tested and have the head checked for warpage. :thumbdown
