By "gone" he means that it's blown, not absent.

Re: No Boost, cannot figure it out

No the head gasket is just blown, there is one there. I dont know what happened cause I just changed it 3000 miles ago when I had the head ported and polished and the valves re seated. Looks like the head is comming off again, oh well it doesn't take to long to do it. Anyone know if this problem could be affecting my turbo?

Studs don't come from the factory. Upgrade to some ARP headstuds, because once you get this ---- working you might just blow it again in 100 miles.

Re: No Boost, cannot figure it out

Well there the studs that came with the car from the facotry, I haven't upgraded them. Where can I find ARP head studs? Does anyone think having a blown head gasket could also be affecting my lack of boost from my turbo?
