Like, prior to inproperly installed #2 piston ring eating the motor, and GM putting in a whole new motor. The turbo was making about 23psig. Replaced the motor, rinsed out the turbo bearing, and bolted it back to the new motor. New motor only makes 20psig. I made them test it for a week. They found nothing and could only come up with, maybe the old motor, while eating oil faster than all hell, created more boost. Any insights?

Nope... eventually... though I had 31XX miles on it when the motor went puht. Now I only have 55XX miles on the car. Not even 3k on the new motor.

My drag buds want me to go to the strip with it next year. I may... use the fancy launch control.

2009 Silverado LTZ extended cab 4wd with the 6.0L L76 and 6-spd auto. 20k trouble free miles. Averaging about 19mpg now. Only mod is window tint since this picture.


2009 VW GTI with DSG tranny. 40k trouble free miles. Averaging just over 30mpg now. Just like the Silverado, the only mod is window tint since this picture.

No pics handy, but:

Me - 2007 WRX Wagon
Him - 2004 Nissan Frontier Desert Runner

We definitely drank the Subie kool-aid... I can't tell you how much we love that car.

2005 Expedition Eddie Bauer and the 1997 Maxima. Looking to replace the Maxima with either an Audi A4 or A6 or a Subie of some kind. With the longer commute to work now I want something that is AWD with decent MPG.

I've read 22psi above ATM is the highest achieved...which is really alot of boost for a gaser.
