I blew up my t2 motor, ooops
I have had my 87 turbo ii since january of last year and she has 131k on her currently along with the original turbo and original motor and just about everything else also. So I have been waiting for this motor to let go since day one of owning my baby.
I put her through almost a solid year of daily driving and beating the **** out of her.
My only mods were 2.5" downpipe w/ stock cat and I had a cone filter with the stock TID.
Welp, she finally took a shart on me.
I was boosting on an onramp getting onto the highway and just lost power and hit the gas again and it didn't sound to be running on two rotors and had no power, so I pulled over to the side of the road and my car started idling really crazy and then just died and wouldnt restart.
I compression tested it last night and got 100's on all faces of the front rotor and nothing at all on the rear rotor so I toasted that thing real good.
I wasn't pissed or mad or anything besides the fact that my car was stuck on the side of the road. I've been waiting for this motor to go ever since I got my car.
No point in crying about it. I love my car and still love her even though shes a one rotor at the current moment.
I'm most likely just going to get a jspec 13BT and throw that in and just drive it again. Hopefully I'll be able to buy the block around new years.
Having to walk to work and not spend any money on gas or partying and such will save me lots of money.

hell yeah, white t2's are the sexiest by far.
I think theyre the best looking s4 paint scheme. White with turbo hoodscoop and the black rubstrips............
I also got some new wheels for her a couple weeks ago. J-Rats old white w/ polished lip 2 piece 16"s
