garrygt Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Much and such the same as me but im using wossner pistons and scat rods. I also plan to run a 0.6 hg but some say it will limit the boost i can run. Will wait and see Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nest Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Haha, I have reason for the 0.6mm hg all will be revealed soon ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Looking good pal! Moving on now. Nothing wrong with running a 0.6mm gasket, if you got dished pistons it will only bring the CR back upto near standard anyway. All depends on the ecu you use really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
