Unless it's a tune problem causing the headgasket issues... the bigger turbo will not help you.

haha. all heads were sitting on clothes. there were no hard surfaces. only heads that are on hard surfaces are my old ones...they are on concrete haha.

the block never touched the ground.

take some 400grit on a sanding block to the deck surface, spray the paper down with some brake clean and u can get it a lot cleaner. thats what tech's do on warranty subaru headgaskets

Get that beast installed then get some rippers vids!
