Tucson: Who's up for a turbo swap this Saturday? :(
yep, my car is smokin up a storm... me thinks the supposedly rebuilt turbo wasnt completely rebuilt because Im 99% sure it's leaking oil! pretty certain the gasket in the turbo wasnt replaced. the car is puffin white/blue burnt oil smellin smoke whenever I decelerate after I boost. I dont think its the head gasket cause it doesnt smell sweet and the smoke seems more indicative of just oil burning. Although my coolant is unusually low. I will know for sure as soon as I take the charge pipe off.
So I still have my stock turbo... got plans on putting it back on the car (assuming my new one is bad), but I'd like to get a little help if at all possible. Joe is out of town... at least I think he is, so somebody else wanna step up to the plate and help a brotha out? Im available saturday and monday. I can do it on base on saturday, but if I do it monday they are closed. If I have no other choice, Im available sunday morning 7am - 1pm, but I'd rather do it saturday.
took me about 5-6 hrs at joes house , just taking our time to swap out the turbo and manifold. So I figure this shouldnt take more than 4-5 since I dont have to worry about the manifold (that is staying in unless there is good reason to swap it out with the stocker)
