It's dead

[Grey Vw]

Thank you everyone for helping me in my boost at 5k thread. I fixed the wastegate, took off the hose from the wastegate, welded the turbo manifold, put on the stock bov and that did nothing.

I started pulling plugs and when I pulled #2 nothing happened. I borrowed a compression tester and it measured 40 psi. It's a gonner:cry_smile:

So I think i'm going to try to get a N/A block or just another b6t. What is required to do the N/A block? Is it plug and play?

[FestYboy]

the blocks are dimentionaly the same, just different pistons, rods, and possibly crank.

You'd probably be better off to just find another B6T

But will it handle the turbo?

A lot of people have used na blocks including me.

Sorry to hear that! Time for you to go BPT man!

Official score card for the compression was 70-40-80-100. Explains a lot.

Could you explain a bit please? I thought the higher compression would help with boost lag.

A lot of people have used na blocks including me.

But you blew up Would you recommend it against the b6t?

Sorry to hear that! Time for you to go BPT man!

Then i'll start breaking trannies!

Didn't blow up just burnt a ring or something. Was not being careful, no wideband etc...

Crank & rods are the same, unless you have a 323 turbo block - those had thicker rods.

Otherwise pistons are the only difference internally

^ that makes life alot easier then!

I think this is bad karma fo running over a bird

[Nerd Racing]

if the bird was dumb enough to get run over instead of flying away it deserved the darwin award.
