    Default z6 and y8 question

    ok i have a boosted z6 that gave out on me and threw a rod bearing, im looking at getting a d16y8 but i know that their compression is different, my tune is on the z6 does anyone know if it will be ok to just throw the y8 in and ride with it for awhile till i can get it tuned?


    reps for help

    Just keep your foot off the gas, taking the wastegate spring out could damage the wastegate and will be annoying. Put around until you can get your tune checked out. Ps I told you it was knocking :P.
