Message	Not sure how this happened, but I replaced all the gaskets (including head gaskets) and torqued new OEM head bolts and washers down per factory spec. I have not done a boost leak test or checked timing yet. Before performing refresh, cylinders averaged 150 +/- 5 psi. Full disclosure, I only tested cylinders 1-4 and they were all right at 125psi. I assume the drop was consistent across the board. Not sure it matters, but I also upgraded, at the same time, to 2.5 in. manifolds, 2.5 in intercooler piping system, and bigger throttle bodies. Had a base tune done by Specialty-Z. Any help would be appreciated
