Blown: kinda, kinda not, cause it would have exceeded the cost of the turbo, and would have been way more work then the turbo, but i dunno, i like boost alot, i'm just trying to buy internals to get to 10lbs of boost then i think i'd be happy. 10lbs would put me over 200whp and that's wut i'd settle with. so right now i'm looking into upgrading the headgasket and who makes it and wut is good. then i'll start looking into rods.

Headgasket, blockguard and tuning... You should be able to get 9psi safely.
