WTF! you think i would have learned., another turbo bites the dust. Options

[x_itchy_b_x]

So im driving along and i realize im at 4k with no boost.... im like uhh. so i rev it and i hear snap crackle pop and then boost to 5psi then bamm smoke oil yeah. it was fun. so here are my options
by a new turbo.
go back to NA

but i said screw buying a new turbo since then i wont have the money for piston rods ect..
so no point in blowing the motor up. (the motor is fine) i cant belive it.

but i came to realize that this motor isnt really ment for boost unless u build it proper IE pistons rods ect. if i bought a larger more effcient turbo im sure this wouldnt of happend. but who knows that if i had a good turbo thqat my motor would have been the weakest link.

so im going NA till i can afford a 3sgte swap.
thats right im going to the darkside haha jp

but no really it will take time and money but i love this car to much to give up on it.
so yeah... RIP 5sfte


i hate this kid. mocking me.

Mannys been preachin the -3 oil feed and -12 oil drain sizes for quite some time. I hope its been beatin into everyones head by now. As long as you use these sizes, and your drain line isn't makin nasty curves, you should be okay in that department.

Itchy...were both your turbos used? Or did you rebuild one? Might have just been unlucky and got them when they're at the end of their life.
