Default one problem after another

Now not only is the turbo running 10 pounds, but after i got it all sealed tight i got a crack in my intake manifold. Whats up with that? It was perfect when i put it on. And its the metal one. Well someone answer this please. If i buy a dohc rebuild kit can i use the dohc pistons and gaskets to lower my compression on my sohc? Right? Then i will use a 95 cam also. My timing belt is slapping so i am just going to rebuild it.

That sucks. Yeah, if you use the DOHC pistons it should lower your compression. Btw, did you happen to get up there to get that part?
