Of all the stupid things to loose a headgasket to, the screw fell out of my boost controller

LOCTITE that ----

sure was fun till the top of second gear.

First time of many times im sure my master plan will save me -

Built motor with cheap graphite headgasket. good to 15 pounds well tuned and comes with the ease of mind of knowning if something goes its gona be the cheap gasket not the block. weak link method for those who want to push it but cant afford to loose a motor.

heh now i keep a backup gasket so i can have it back less than 4 hours after i blow it. this time took 23 hours only cuz i waited on the gasket.

Do you mean the adjustment screw? Your adjustment screw doesn't have a lock nut?

Bulletman

let me know if you guys are interested i have a friend making boost controllers, compared to hallmans, turbo xs, and many other top dollar controllers for 30 shipped!

leitchey

well at least your idea worked. better a gasket than a wrecked engine

turbof22a

there is such thing as boost cut or a pop off valve

2BarRacing

yup i had the same thing happen to me at the track and when my car went pop pop pop and i got out of it guess what you dont go lean if your ecu wont let you

rExin_you_out

there was no pop pop pop there was PAWP put put put put lol

How do you set boost cut with crome basic?
