These new hpt turbos are wonderful. Pair it with a nice external gate and you get some pretty good boost control. Ball bearing turbos also help the spool up.

New turbo for the shop car. Should spool up pretty well with the current setup.

This weekend was all about getting this motor back in and moving forward with progress. Still waiting on some fuel system parts to arrive but while waiting I have some time now to chase some wires down and make things run how they should from factory.

Sunday work day. Heads back on the blown headgasket motor. Was waiting on some arp hardware. New oil pickup and inside got cleaned and inspected. She'll get put back together over the next couple days and be ready to go back in by the weekend. Then its on to some wiring gremlins and installing the fast e dash

Customer car in for not running right, .massive blow by from the breathers. Coolant pressure test held pressure fine, but compression and leakdown said otherwise. ZERO compression on #3. Leakdown showed leakage from intakemanifold side. No cooling loss or smoke or even choclate milk in the reservoir. Headgasket on #3 blew. Graphite all in the pickup. Motors out of the car now getting fixed up and will be e85 swapped to potentially prevent this from being an on going issue.

Do you pack games when you travel? 🎲🌴

We always toss a few into our luggage, and waterproof Splash UNO cards are a must. Pool days plus card games just work.

Josh even played cards in the pool — cards floating, zero shame, full vacation mode 😂 It’s the little things like this that turn simple resort time into some of our favorite memories.

And now that you’ve made it this far… peep Josh’s hat 👀
Yes, we’ve heard the news — we’re getting a Buc-ee’s in Nebraska, and he’s already planning to own every piece of Buc-ee’s summer gear.

What games are you packing for your next trip?
And be honest… would you rock Buc-ee’s poolside style? 👇🏾

Doing a proper leakdow test can help narrow issues but it can also help find major issues. Customer was having major blow by so we did a leakdown to check rings. Ended up finding that more than the rings were the issue. 2 pistons were busted at the ring lands.
