So im driving along and i realize im at 4k with no boost.... im like uhh. so i rev it and i hear snap crackle pop and then boost to 5psi then bamm smoke oil yeah. it was fun. so here are my options
by a new turbo.
go back to NA

but i said screw buying a new turbo since then i wont have the money for piston rods ect..
so no point in blowing the motor up. (the motor is fine) i cant belive it.

but i came to realize that this motor isnt really ment for boost unless u build it proper IE pistons rods ect. if i bought a larger more effcient turbo im sure this wouldnt of happend. but who knows that if i had a good turbo thqat my motor would have been the weakest link.

so im going NA till i can afford a 3sgte swap.
thats right im going to the darkside tongue.gif haha jp

but no really it will take time and money but i love this car to much to give up on it.
so yeah... RIP 5sfte
