******* called it. Got rear ended again today. "my foot slipped off the brake" ******* bullshit. looks like sumthin is gonna break on my car, or the dealer is gonna give me **** about my downpipe when i tell them my turbo is fucked

OneSlow_SS

wow sry chris it will turn around for u sometime

Shibito

swap a stock downpipe on real quick. Hope your car gets repaired quickly.

Hopefully sooner than later :/ July has turned into the worst month of the year every year. 2 years ago g/f of 2 years breaks up with me, last year gpa passed away , this year so far all this BS. /my life story. lol Thank you tho

I can do that. Do i leave the CEL on and try to get a new o2 sensor, or do i clear so theres no suspicion? Thanks, if they have to replace it im thinking 5 days. 2 to figure it out, 1 to order the part, and 2 to replace. lol

Shibito

I'd clear it just to be safe if your O2 sensor is good. Don't need the dealer to start snooping.

devilbmxer120

Good point. Although the computer is still unmolested :p lol

Sorry to hear man, keep your head up

devilbmxer120

Boss002

I know the feeling, it's rough. Hopefully the DMV is not bad and they dony give u ****. I'm hoping the dealer ignores my S3 when it goes for the clutch or trans replacement.

dam chris now i realy feel bad about that one, sorry to hear that bro hope you can get your turbo fixed

ssyellow

Chris why did your turbo go in the first place? Your not tuned are you?

devilbmxer120

Thanks

Idk why it went. Hasnt been tuned a day in its life. idk if its even actually blown, it just makes this very strange sound under boost from when its cold til i boost it once while fully warm. Itll do it during that first warm pull then wont after that. My turbo has seen its fair share of abuse tho too. :x

ssyellow

How cold are we talking and what kind of noise?

devilbmxer120

Itll do it from cold start up til the coolant is at 187ish. Sounds like crickets. Yea i checked for leaks and found none. Performance doesnt seem to lack either. :/

That noise near the end when you let off the throttle?

Do you experience less vacuum or less boost?

devilbmxer120

The noise while im gassing it. No loss of boost psi or vacuum. 22vac and 14-17psi. Ill try to get a better vid.

I didn't hear anything when you gave it gas.

devilbmxer120

You really have to listen. Its so much easier to hear in person. :/

Shibito

You'll be lucky if your motor isn't going rather then the turbo. You really need to let the LNF get to operating temp before you get into more then like 5lbs of boost.

devilbmxer120

Either way its still warrantied. I usually dont but i noticed this in winter. Was driving for about 10 min, got on it heard the sound checked the coolant and it was at 189. :/ Ill keep you guys informed tho
