now all they need is a "miracle apex seal rebuilder", a "miracle coolant seal fixer", and a "miracle boost leak repairer" and we'll be set!

"Miracle Make My Motor New Again and Convert My TT To a Single" would be nice!

I usually just put some sawdust in my oil if I have a leak. Works every time! LOL.

Do you think that is bad?

Dude, sawdust and turbos do not mix espeacially ours. If you clog the oil lines in the turbos you will be looking at a 700 dollar oops at best.

What're you talkin' about!!?? I've used sawdust in my FD turbos for 11 years! I find that pine really makes the best oil premix, though cedar is pretty good smelling. That walnut crap is just not right for my little baby!! Ebony wood is the SHITTT when it comes to oil thickening to cover leaks before I sell my cars, but soooo expensive. Just can't justify spending all that money...

Love it in the coolant too. Waaaayyyy better than some silly metal dissoved in who knows what!!?? Better the wood that you know, than the metal you don't. My great-great grandpa's neghbor used to say that to me allll the time!!

Why use sawdust? I used sawdust for years until I realized that the natural coagulating properties of oil are good enough. I simply dont change my filter and don't change the oil. Let it burn and get thick, and just keep adding more-- it stops all the leaks!

Wonder if this miracle seal lube works on leaky carbon seals in turbos??? "Don't replace your turbos ... just add a little 'seal lube'." All I need for the commercial is a late night time slot and a big fat guy with an overgrown mullet. (No offense to you big fat guys with overgrown mullets .... )
