So yesterday the headgasket may have blown on my RB25. I was cruising along doing about 60mph, then all of a sudden I here this loud clank/pop and see tons of white smoke behind me, the car dies I pull over and it wont restart. So I pop the hood and lots of smoke from the back of the motor. So after yelling a little haha, my friends pull up behind me and I use their phone to get a trailer out to me (my phone and wallet were lost in a lake about 1 hr prior to this) And after a couple hours I successfully got the car home. It started and idled fine for the 30seconds I ran it to get it on and off the trailer. At this point I hope its only the head gasket but tonight we are doing a leakdown test and I will let you all know how it turns out.

Walbro 255 fuel pumpTurbonetics 50 trim ball bearing turbo running at 9psiSAFC (i hate it)

ummm other than that the motor is stock. So nothing too crazy I was waiting to get something better to tune with before I started messing with more boost. looks like that might be on hold awhile.
