@TOOLOW91 ,@a91what ,@mikestang63 ,@Onefine88 and everyone else.....your not going to beleive this!
Went over my car with the guy,idled perfect,took me for a drive,the drivability was amazing,zero bucking,went through a few gears so smooth!...it was perfect!!!!!!!

Paid him,drove it for about 20min to bring it home,gave it some throttle,hit about 5psi,seemed good??..wanted to go find a nice quiet road to finally feel this thing....then???......wait a minute?.....why is my temp so high??....hmmm?....fans on???....wait?....rad cap is cold??.....WATER IN THE OIL!

Now,i know its not his fault?....and i was supposed to go back for a quick retune with bigger injectors and a 7psi pulley........f##########k!....but nowwwww,its back to lets see if intake gasket failed,but its most likley the head gasket of coarse!!!...best case!

That all i have to say right now im deflated again...

Man I feel for ya ...... before you go off the deep end.... ttake a breath,,,, then check the coolant for exhaust gas. and then pull the plugs,, if they are wet or whitewashed..... do a leak down test... that will tell you if it is an intake or head gasket

Water in the oil could be a blown intake gasket ... if you do the exhaust gas coolant test and the fluid turns green,,,, the head gasket let go.

bull... if you need MLS HG to keep the HG from blowing then your tune is off.. THe AFR was safe on the dyno runs...
So the car ran fine until you got into the boost? How many times and how hard until the temp went up? Did you hear any pinging, any thing pop, any puff of smoke, oil leak... are all of teh vacuum lines hooked up.. coolant level correct. is the chip set he burned a flip chip? Is the timing spout in? seems odd as the dyno puts a load on and he took it up to 6000 rpm.... how many pulls did he do..

That really sucks. I don't like MLS gaskets myself. I did ALL my own tuning, 8 psi starting at 1800 rpm. It was sketchy at first to say the least, I can't believe I have not blown something apart yet. We run the same afr in boost, what was the total timing? Intake temps? Did you run/runout of meth?

Checked and tested the kit it all works...not sure about intake temps....

But check this out....looks a lot like 9333pt1 material?

Hate to even bring this up, but I'm starting to wonder if you have a warped head/block. All the home methods of checking won't find .005-.010" of warp, which with boost could be enough to make gaskets not ever seal right.

Sorry to hear that. I myself am going through it too I spent my christmas break tearing my engine down to fix a blown head gasket. It lasted about 4 pulls on the street and blew again. I am using the same 9333pt1 gasket and arp head studs. My problem is I'm trying to run 15 psi with gt40 heads. In my case I think the heads are lifting or the deck is warped. You have good heads so I doubt they're lifting. Hopefully you can get it sorted out and enjoy your car.

That sucks! You just gotta keep at it. Hope you get this resolved quickly so you can go back to enjoying the boost.
