Hey slant sex crew, my club cab power (boosted) wagon turbo slant 6 build just started, got a few questions. Using a 1987 Buick GN Garrett turbo planning on using 5-7 psi of boost max. I would like to know what kind of head gasket you guys and gals would recommend? Also, this buick turbo has the oil inlet and outlet. But, where and how do I cool the turbo? Coolant inlet and outlet are absent on this turbo. |

Oil is used to both lubricate and cool on some turbos. Sounds like yours is that way. My Holset is the same. Another reason to think about an oil cooler... |

You should be fine with any head gasket at that boost level. I would torque/retorque bolts to 75+ ft-lbs. Make sure you have a max ign advance of about 22 deg under full boost, and A/F ratio of 11.5:1 or 12 max. Get a WB O2 sensor. AEM is the best, IMHO. Lou |
