Well, looks like I'm getting a new block.

Drove home yesterday after my boost gauge was acting funny, car felt great and pulled really hard. I got home and everything was perfect, I figured I would start the car again and see if the gauge was back to normal. Well the car wouldnt start, finally It did...it sounded like a Diesel engine with open downpipe. Needless to say something was terribly wrong.. Checked the oil, no oil.

Today I took it to a specialized performance shop and after doing a compression test...0 psi cyl 3, and 100psi in the rest of em. While they should all have 150.

Im bummed out, but I guess you have to keep your head up and look at the bright side....I'm already looking for a new built block...Forged internals, here I come..! It is NOT going to be cheap....
