Check the pistons for what?

By the way...turned out since I now live at 7,000 ft, the main culprate for the low boost was altitude. I have modified the turbo and put an electronic boost controller on it. It will still only boost to about 6 lb at 7000 ft, but so far I've boosted to 12 lb's at Willow Springs track which is about 2700 feet above sea level.

I see you live in CA. Can you recomend a good 'tuner' shop with a dyno tuner?
I have a fuel cut defencer, electronic boost controller, 550cc injectors, modified turbo to 38 trim, intake, catback exhaust, metal head gasket with ARP bolts, TEIN flex, Toyo RA1's, and a few other things. I don't think I'm getting the full potential and think maybe a good 'tuner' on a dyno can pull it all together.

I'm in Big Bear Lake so Ontario, Redlands, Riverside OR Victorville area would be best.

Thanks in advance.
