RE: Turbo problem ( I think)...

I am planning on getting a bigger turbo later on. But what if my turbo "goes," can I still drive my car?

Yeah but I wouldn't drive it for long like that. You gotta think. The turbo is a fan in the exhaust. The fumes push the fan and go by it. Now the turbo's friend and not spinning. Exhaust doesn't spin it anymore and has to force itse;f by.

Hey guys. I have another question. I am planning on adding performance parts now, but I have about 130,000 miles on my 95 GST. I am planning on putting on full catback exhaust, intake, headers. But do you guys recommend, buying a new turbo first?

you cant put Headers on a 4 cyl, it is only 1 header and on a turbo car you dont have a header you have a turbo manifold or a tubular manifold.

dude everyone just told you to get the mods first if the turbo is still good. I would def make sure that the car is in top notch condition before putting any mods on it. Did you ever get the problem with it losing power fixed? If not then theres no use to mod the car.

Alright... Hey guys, what is a BCS restrictor? I hear people talking about it all the time so that they can run 1-2 psi more. What is it? And where is it located?

Hey I have another question. Do you guys think it could be the fuel filter... when the turbo doesnt keep giving power after 4,500 rpm? There is some gas leak out of the fuel filter. Do you guys think its the fuel filter?
