'71 Demon Ebay turbo kit

If you don’t add ring gap, then yes you’re building a time bomb. Even at 8 psi. Disassemble it, gap the rings, add head studs, add mls gaskets, and you’ll have a bottom end that will live a while on boost. I can’t imagine why anyone would build any turbo set up without some form of intercooling, it’s free horsepower. For a street car an air to air is as simple as it gets. Consider this engine a sacrificial lamb while you learn to tune a boosted set up.
