Default Turbo is killing my 5.3

Well, I think the end is very near Rigged up catch can to solve my oil issues and doesn' seems to help. Pressurizing the crank and comming out the dip stick tube. Its starting to look like an old VW leaving oil all over the place. Need to do a compression test but I think the rings are toast. Just waiting for someone hurry up and send me a LQ4

Hey, how about trying out some of the new 5.3 forged slugs and really crank it up. Just a thought. Sorry to hear about problems, it sucks.

its got almost 104k on it. been boosted since 67k. So I almost got 40k hard boosted and towing miles on it. Anyone know how much boost you can run on a 6.0 with 42 lb. injectors????, I'll probably uses meth also but want to see what i can get away with without the meth for fueling.

i would suspect knock due to a tuning or fuel issue is what took out the motor. after what we put the fairmont thru i am starting to think you can not hurt or wear out these motors other then if you let them knock
