There was very little fuel pressure, if any, when I did my turbo install. If you let it set for a day or so, there likely won’t be any. Last edited by jwick; 01-27-2019 at 07:45 PM. |

I have phunk's fuel pressure gauge. After 24hrs of sitting, it's almost to zero.

Nice write up.
I just love the fact that the "ON SALE" price is more expensive than the regular price for the gasket kit https://conceptzperformance.com/niss...kt_p_32295.php

So I wasn't aware of this issue before a week or so ago, but since I have a late 2009 model I'm concerned about a possible failure.
The car has 94,000 on the clock and I haven't noticed any issues (neither has Blackstone, who I send my oil off to after each change) but is there a place where I could enter my VIN and determine if I'm at risk or not?

I'm terrified of this happening now. Definitely don't have the tools/talent/time to DIY so surely it would be several hundred in labor beyond the $60 kit from EPS...

Yes sir. The new ones can still blow out, but it's VERY rare. EPS makes a great gasket that I haven't seen fail.

They redesigned the gaskets for 2012 models. But there is a still a problem with the hardware used from the factory. My understanding is the design is such that it's difficult to torque them down properly. And this makes it hard to get them to torque down evenly across the gasket. So even in later model years with the improved gasket, the hardware is still prone to backing out or just being unevenly torqued which can lead to oil seeping even if the gasket is still intact. The EPS galley gasket kit includes new hardware to replace the OEM hardware.
