well i just got a turbo II and this is my first one. although the motor sounds allright it will run for about 5 minutes then when i pull up to a stop it will die out. the rpms drop and everything. does anyone know how to help this problem or is the motor RIP.

cool ill look into that. the motor sounds good still so i dont think that it is bad. the only other problem is the turbo isnt boosting great. so i mean i my aswell just get a new turbo and engine all at once.

No you shouldn't, a used turbo in good shape thats the same size as stock should be less then $300 (so Ive read), but a new engine is $1000-2000.

yea but how much for them to swap in the turbo as well. i can get the whole upgraded greddy turbo kit for 900 so i my aswell just rebuild the motor. i know the motor wont hold up with out a rebuild

If your going for an upgraded turbo then yeah I guess rebuild the motor (if it will need a rebuild any time soon), as the added stress of the new turbo might "push it over the edge" . I thought you were gonna go with another stock turbo. Good luck!

thanks the motor seems fine for right now and i can deal with the turbo but i need to find out why it is dieing. maybe the fuel filter i have to check that
