yeah read what it says. i never said i didnt boost it to 11. i did, when i first tested out the gate. and stuff. but it started doing this like 7 days after doing 11psi.meh im not to fussed, i half expected it. i allready suspected headgasket a few weeks ago. new motor goes in, disconect cooler pipes, and only gets vac till dyno day.
