Re: Boosted Buick - Not idling right
Oil and coolant in the exhaust = head gasket.
Sure, other stuff could do it (not ringlands, wtf?) but I strongly doubt that you'd crack a cylinder wall and have it maintain for any length of time.

Re: Boosted Buick - Not idling right
Well i got owned, got bored and decided to rip the heads off
Q Are Race Series composite gaskets suitable for Turbo engines?
A Race Series Composite Gaskets are designed for engines with moderate increases in compression ratio and
output compared to standard engines. They are not, however, designed for use in forced induction engines
(surepcharged or turbocharged)
ordered 1.1mm copper headgaskets
replacing new oil + oil filter
and ill be back in the land of the boost..just gotta rip other engine head off, turbo off, manifolds off, this time running my 2 bar map sensor + tune..

What AFR did you tune for, how much timing are you running?

Re: Boosted Buick - Not idling right
i think this is a lesson in the principle that old cars need some TLC before you just slap a turbo on em.
gl though cause those are some pretty stout engines (at least back in the day) to bad GM axed them (heaven forbid something makes more power then the almighty 350
hmm ford did the same thing with the mustang svo...
hmmmm, i wonder why i drive imports?
