Head Gasket???

What do you have done? How much boost and which turbo are you using. Also, are you spraying any nitrous of water meth? Don't worry me as my truck is at the same approx hp/tq and I didn't think I had anything to worry about just yet.

yeah that is a good deal. Heck, I might even do that and have it o-ringed and whatnot and do the swap and take out a bunch of problems all at once.
