I have a stock 3rd gen 3sgte from a 96 jdm gt4 in my car and I'm thinking New cams, valves, head gasket, head studs, valve springs, and a port and polish. My car is a daily driver, so i don't want the reliability to got to s***. I also don't know if the power gain would be worth the money.

i dont think it would cause the boost to drop, but would give you more turbo lag.

if you hear a lot of hiss when u boost, then your probably have a leak. you piping looks good from the pics, but check the blow off valve with your hand as you rev the car to make sure it opens and closes correctly and dosnt leak. if all that checks out, just turn up your boost. youll be amazed how much faster the car gets at 13psi or more
