To make along story short. My timing belt tensioner was bad and I didn't know that. I was having some fun and the timing jumped and I bent two intake valves. So I had two new ones put in but I doubt think that place that did the work did the three angle valve job on them to mach the other ones. Me and shane at DB were thinking that there might still be some bent valves or a bad valves guide. Because there was some oil on the number one cylinder and the other three cylinder look good.

The car run's way better then what it did. It put down 330 to the wheels. Shane was telling me that it STILL A 130 to 150 hp off of what it should be with my set up. It just stop making power even with more boost so that's why we think it the head. I did a compression and leak down tests and it was all good. So now I am thinking it a boost leak.
