paulr Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 a 13G can bend rods if not tuned correctly...it's all a matter of being careful and doing things right Very true - I guess between all the flac N/A people get when they want to go turbo and the fact I only own a HPT, it's very easy to view the LPT setup as somehow being inferior. I figgured the higher CR of the LPT would somehow exacberate the low-RPM rod-bending issues frequently seen with the very large turbos. But I guess a good tune can even offset that. And I think Evan's car is a 97, but I'll let him confirm / deny that. When he blew his headgasket the shop did stuff to it and it's a helluva lot faster than a stock GLT, I can definetly say that.
