well...i think the turbo is dead...i notice that the A/F is runing lean at idel and rich at cruise/wot...so its eating gas like a v10....but ima check the turbo for shaft play today...and i know the seal on the turbo is bad b/c theres oil in the intercooler pipings and oil is comin out of the BOV....and smokes like crazy during start ups....if i find that the turbo is dead or need a rebuild...how much would it cost to rebuild it?

One Hundred Million dollars muah haha ha ha ha.
No really if all you need is a kit you'll get lucky. But it sounds like you have bigger problems that luck may not try to factor it self into. I'm not a turbo guy. But I tried. Performance Parts Aftermarket and Racing ext 103. Speak to Dave. He'll plug you straight in. |
