at time of instal i preped the det with an oem DE head gromet. running the followingssauto FMICssauto manifoldssauto 02 dumpssauto downpipeinvidia 80mm exhaustblitz metal screen intake"SUS"kae mafsr20det turbohks 12 psi wastegate

i searched but found no definitive hp number to wherei should be concernced about gromet failure. the car pulls hard and strong.. little hesitation when i hit full boost"12 psi" its like a mini jult but nothing major...

still pulling the " idle switch code" and leaky fuel injector so im under diag for them two. bu tmy main concern is the gromet. any info is welcome.

unless you damaged it during install, the stock headgasket won't have problems with an SR turbo, fmic and 12psi. My guess is the leaky fuel injectors. That causes all sorts of issues with driveability.

I'm running a modified T28 with high compresson and poor tuning and it's holding up just fine.
