umm holy ****.. how much boost were you running?

did you finish getting it tuned.. or did you start beating on it right away..

also did you do a compression test BEFORE you did all this? ( weren't you the one that was running nitrous before?)

that sucks man .. i hope that isnt the case

it was tuned. with a rough tune. and you know you shouldnt have been beating on it like you did. I doubt you have wrx mod, ur **** sounds like a srt4 or wrx anyways with the turbo on it. Its probably something simple and your just freaking ur self out again just like you did with the head gasket.

Well, I brought my tuner along in case it was ready today. So, when I get back I'm going to tune it before I drive it.

Honestly, like 07cobaltguy...my car ALREADY sounds like SRT or WRX
so i couldn't tell a differance. but my downpipe is getting made as i type this, or it may be dne who knows..but after that
bringing it out to my aunts checking my plugs..first. :/

jst stay out of boost at all costs...would be my suggestion sentry


i dnt have a funny idle, 800 or so RPMS
at about 1/4to1/2 throttle at about 4K rpms it studdeders, i checked my piping and it was all on, because im still making boost

so idk..hoping its not the WRX mod.. :/

struddering at 4k sounds like detonation or major blow out.. or bad plugs.. so yea check your plugs..
