ok, so i'm all happy today cruising around. Just got both turbos back online two days ago. Boy did I miss boost. Anyway, i'm zipping around town and I hit a stoplight. I hear a pop and some metallic sounds. What now? I pull into a parking spot and my engine dies. Wonderful! Pop the hood and both accessory belts are tangled behind the crank pulley. Then I notice that those spinning belts just took out one of my crank angle sensors. Engine won't run now. Just another day in the life of a third gen.

just got my second r-1...did all the fixes..hoses,radiator etc...plugs,wires....any boost causes car to backfire like crazy...i go nuts for a week and find bent crank sensor...move the little metal finger an eighth of an inch and car runs perfect....previous owner tells me it threw the belt once right before i got it!!wish i knew that before!
