my car dying again...:(
my car dying again...:(
ok dont kno what happened, basically i got a boost leak, oil leak(from under the sandwich plate - im gonna just bin the plate so done worry about that)
what i did on saturday (i had jus a boost leak and oil leak) was installing my water temp sensor(cut the rad hose, fitted t-piece with sensor - it doesnt leak or anything) and checking my oil leak(i just tighten up the plate thinking it will fix the problem - no joy here...) and also i checked my cross over tube as it was apparently causing my boost leak. what i did with the tube was just rapping soem tape around it with some silicon/glue kinda stuff just to see if i can stop it leaking for a while to make sure its definitely my leak.
havent driven my car for two days , and today took it for a little spin for testing. what happened was my oil temp gauge showed 150 degrease staright after i started the engine, 10 minutes later my water temp showed the same(stock one was in the middle and didnt go up even after 5 minutes driving)
the i put my foot down a bit and spotted some white smoke coming from under the bonnet every time BOV was blowing air out, stopped the car popped the hood up and thats what happend:

They spin in excess of 100,000 RPMs and run at temps over 1800º F.I'm not saying that's definitley your problem, I'm just saying that to the best of my knowledge, oil can only end up in the intake from two places. The engine and the turbos. Which would you rather have to replace?
