Default to boost or not too boost...??

i hava 91' hatch, swapped an a6 in it and was wondering if i should go about boosting it... the porblem is that my rings r a lil shot and i burn oil... is it still safe to boost or should i get ring job. my setup will b budget stock block, maybe run a t25

If you've got a spare engine boost it, blow it, swap it.

You ask to boost or not to boost on HMT? Boost it of course, where you located around here I can get D blocks all day long, plenty to blow up
