I need help with my FD

Hi,

I need to know if it is ok to drive a FD if the turbos are not working. All I need to do is to drive it onto a semi trailer. Its getting shipped to ND from Texas and it is about $200 dollars more is the car is not able to run. The carrier is charging me $875 but needs to know if its in running condition. Will it hurt anything if it is driven just onto and off the trailer? Please respond.

Thanks

It shouldnt matter. You could drive a car even though the turbos arent functioning properly. It jus wouldnt boost.

But the guy Im buying it from says it could damage something internally. Do you know anything about that?

I don't think it could. He might just be covering his *** in case something did happen. I think you would be OK if it was just on and off a trailer.

Exclamation

I would imagine that any damage already done to the engine/turbos or damage that could be done has already happened.

Driving it onto and off a trailer probably won't cause any more than what's already there.
