so after a long 3days of working at it off and on
they turbo is complete

the trial drives around the block went good
only blew a couple pipes off after that got fixed we went out and got on it a bit

20 min later white smoke from helll

oretty sure the rings are toasted on the pistons

Why wouldn't you get it tuned first?

cause i new this would happen already

the rings were bad before the turbo i kinda knew it was doomed to happen

thats isnt the point lol...the point was why drive it untuned...even if you knew or didnt know that they would go out you should tuned it.

NO.... the point is: why would you turbo a motor when you KNEW the rings were bad? why wouldn't you replace the rings and worry about making sure the motor was sound before putting a kit on it and making the car undriveable?

no you and the mad scientist gotta tear apart the motor and replace the piston rings you fried.
