mods are listed below, synthetic oil got 13,000 miles on it. 91 octane, hit 18 lbs by accident 2-3 times because my freind connected the wrong vac. lines to the wrong ports on the wastegate, would have went well over 20 if I wouldnt have hit fuel cut. was pushing 8.5lbs daily. piston rings gave out or have cracked pistons havent taken it apart yet.
