Re: interesting weekend
I think that if someone runs a boosted motor with no fuel management and asks you to help fix some problems, then the motor blows while "testing", it's the car owners bill. Everybody knows as soon as you install a turbo you're motor is in jeopardy of blowing everytime you get on it.
I guess it depends on who the guy is and how well you know him and if he would do the same for you.
Otherwise I'd say he's ---- out of luck.

Re: interesting weekend
Sucks. Sorry to hear that man. Hope everything works out alright for you and it's rough since it's your buddy. That's why I'm hesistant on giving out information to people. Then again I always get the "10.5psi? No internals? It's going to blow" speech. What do I care? I'll rebuild. I own a D16 though. Not exactly high price GSR. Not to mention NO car. Sorry man, good luck with all that.
