Bad news... i decided to test out my setup one good time before turning the boost up, and it did not end well. was doing a 3rd-5th gear pull to make sure everything was ok and the engine blew. i honestly dont know why it happened but i feel like the wastegate may have stuck. it pulled ridiculously hard in 4th and 5th and i honestly was not able to look at the boost gauge.
pulled the head off this morning and i find that all the sleeves are cracked. no other apparent damage. the headgasket, head, valves, pistons all look perfect. so now im not exactly sure what i want to do next. should i have this block sleeved? if so, any suggestions? ill be doing some research in the meantime, just never really looked into sleeving a block and was looking for advice.
