Turbos Gone Bad Uncensored
Here is what I pulled out of my car two days ago. Got to love these Cracker Jack turbos. Maybe these are the reason I have a 16 second time slip.
128K miles on these piles.

What's strang is that they would build boost fine, with a little screaming, but still fine. The only problems I had were low primary in 1st gear (slow spool up) and a 5psi transition no matter what gear I was in, but over all, I could still boost to 10-13 psi if i let it.
My time slip is what prompted me to pull them off. I knew I had an exhaust leak, and I wanted to see if it could be the problem. The turbos are my problem.
My best 60 footer was like 2.484
and second gear felt like I had an NA, but once I hit 3rd (providing I didn't miss it) the car took off like a rocket and would pull 97MPH. So, I know that the motor is strong (92K) and after I install my new/used turbos that I found, I may be able to pull the 13-14s I want.
I'm not sure I 'm going to keep this car much longer. Three years and $$$$ out my ***, I think I want either the WRX or the RX-8. not sure.. we'll see.

maybe a turbo car isn't for you? how about a C5 or a used Viper or something
buddy of mine just picked up a 2001 Viper GTS in bright yellow.....all of sudden my FD looks pretty lame, ha
