It will help a little but ultimately at that kind of power level it doesn't take much for something to go, be it pistons valves or whatever. If you are one of those people who has that much power for bragging rights and rarely uses it then you may enjoy higher power for years but personally I can't see any point in having a powerful car if you are not going to use it properly.

Thick gaskets and decompression plate are a bad idea.

They alter the factory squish zones and can cause more detonation then having the factory compression ratio which may be higher.

Be careful if you got that way.

lol can you explain to me what you mean by squish zone?

and 300 buks or so for head gasket is a lot cheaper than getting forgies lol, it is all i can afford at the moment...

may get forgies later on tho, will see how it goes...

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
