This didn't happen anytime soon, I have reason to beleive that this happen with the previous owner. The turbine on the turbo is not damaged.

I didn't do the tune, I have a street tune but I have never raced it since i did the turbo. Punched it once or twice thats it. boost is set at 8 psi right now. Like i said this didn't happen when the turbo kit was on, The ring is still sealing just a peice from the top corner of the piston is missing.

JB Weld???

























JK.
That sucks man. New short block time. This time you can do it right with an iron 6.0 and forged pistons!
You've already got the 317's, now you need either a blower cam or a LS6 cam and some dual springs. Get ready to make powa!!!
