First of all the reason why my car was at 30psi was cause my manuel boost controller was broke reason i went to electronic, and that was only like that for a few times until i figured out to keep it boosting at only 14lbs till i got the new bc. 8500 redline was changed by me 2 weeks before this happend so dont make it seem like i did that 24/7 with the car. Last i know i took alot of people who were not my friend out for a ride. That part was stupid of me but thats for me to decide not anyone else. I know who my real friends are now who keeps in contact with me and who doesnt so i know who is going to be in the car with me when its finished. If it breaks again oh well i will keep building it, i bought my evo to drive it.

The rod knock is what caused it all, rod broke, headgasket popped, stock sodium filled valves as they break + engine coolant = nice explosions which was caused by the shredding timing belt. In all honesty I think all this could've been avoided if you'd taken my advice back in January about the rod knock. But hey, ya gotta learn somehow!

I don't want any part to do with your car, just don't bother me when things don't work out the way you think they should. I'm so sick of dealing with stupidity day in and day out and there are way too many idiots with Evo's these days. Now I honestly see what Kurt was talking about and why he hates people so much.
