    26 views and nobody has any input? my thinking is either... valve stem seals... valve guides (which would mean bad stem seals also) and possibly bad rings... who wants to take a guess?

    Exhaust problems/questions

    Exhaust problems/questions

    on a turbo car you should have MORE power on the top end with a 3'' exhaust.. if you 'lose' power you need to check over your car and make sure everything is operationg properly... 3'' exhaust = less backpress = easier on the turbo to boost
