ORANOCO - how long had you had the felpro on? and did you run it on 20psi all the time?

RAB - good for you. but that never happened for the simple fact i already said im not buying a ford gasket?!

gonna wait till monday for the felpro now and see if my dad can get one through work (trade prices )

got excited tho and already put felpro in my new sig lol

It had been on 12months and hadworked up from a new build engine so had been run in on no boost for 1000 miles and then was progressively increased as newer parts were added. Let go between cylinders 3 and 4
