Default Re: RCC Stage 1 Turbo With 240 wheel

Just for safety's sake i'd fatten it up a little,i also have an RCC Stage 1 originally mapped between 11.4-11.8(stock comp./no spacer plate) and after 3,000 miles(18,500 total,installed the turbo at 15,500)melted 3 out of 4 pistons(no WOT top end runs but quite a few up through the gears with easing off in 6th).Also signs of detonation which i'm attributing to this ****ty CA 91 only octane gas.
Just had the motor completely rebuilt including bearings,rods,pistons,double base gasket to lower the comp. a few 10ths,all new intake/exhaust valves(and had the head ported while it was off),and an AEM wideband to keep an eye on the A/FR(now mapped at 11.0-11.4).Also had the frame,etc. powdercoated black,new Michelin Power One tires,chain,etc.,
