Gonna pull the motor and see the extent of the damage. If no hard parts are damaged then i should be able to rebuild it this season. If it needs new pistons or something stupid it's gonna sit for a bit

I'm guessing #1 cracked ring lands or busted piston/rings. In for gory details.

Leakdown test was like 3-4% or something, didn't get around to a compression test.

Motor also made 20psi of boost like this

Hopefully shipping turbo out for some work this week. Also going to weld a new brace to the turbine housing to support the turbo on the manifold better.

SE Power Systems offered to service and check my turbo last fall with all the smoking issues that I had. I'm following through with it so I have a fresh start with a new motor.
