I just bought a fully built de that has been run for maybe 1 min max. Here is what the guy said about the motor:
-Block honed and bored
-Block parallel deck
-align hone block
-installed eagle rods
-new piston rings
-multi angle valve job and surface
-new valve seals
-new Wiseco pistons
I also picked up a T3/04 on a log manifold and Tial wastegate all for $1600. My questions are I just found out that the pistons are 9:1 and the garrett t3/04 is oil cooled only. Should I buy 8.5:1 Pistons and sell the 9:1s or just not boost over say 15 psi with the big turbo? Also is just running a oil cooled turbo a bad idea or should I just set my turbo timer for a little while longer?
