    Turbo TB 45
    Hay guys I have a question , I have a tb 45 with a garret turbo (great improvement in power and torque) engine is stock bar 4.2 rods rather than 4.5 , stronger I have heard ,I want to decompress the engine and would like some ideas : thicker head gasket , headwork , or different pistons I cant run any more than 9 pound boost due to pinging . I have an oil leak at the front of the head and block at the moment and I shall be removing head to fix , whilst the head is off it would be a good time to fix my compression, some info would be great and where to go would also help , I am from Adelaide

    to highly strung
