yea i first time i hit fuel cut, i just knew that i had droped the engine on the highway[sm=boohoo.gif]

 

Ok Iam crying now like a baby..
the turbo instal went great the smoke stopped , took it for a test run 3 minutes tops and smoking white smoke this time, blown head gasket.
took it to the shop they called, blown head gasket and internal engine problems.
he recomends 1. he can replace head gasket and give back cant gaurtnee how long will run.
2. he can replace the 2nd piston and rings which are bad and the head gasket.
3. put a new motor in the car.
uggggg!!! what are my plans for the car?? a car crusher!

 

who is telling this stuff to you? what year is the car and how many miles on it?

 

what grade gas do you use? how many psi of boost have you been running on it.

new motor? why if the head gasket is bad then change it. if the rings are bad change them. unless your block or head has been cracked or warped why buy a new one. did he pull the head to look at the 2nd piston? or just because it may have low compression he is saying its bad.

 

The mechanic says the 2nd piston is busted, he will pull the head apart more tomorrow to have a look.
its a 95 with 96,000 miles we have only owned for about a year.
we had the stock turbo on it and the new turbo we only got to run for about 2 mins
the spark plug the center was blown out???

 

how much boost were you running?????

 

10

 

hmm??? did he show you the plug, or did he just tell you it was blown out..... it would take, most likely, much higher temps and pressure to blow up a spark plug........ unless the piston hit the plug, then theres a whole other set of things it could be........

 

heres the thing he said the #2 piston hit the head.
I saw the spark plug and the thing with that is the insides are missing but the peice that curves over is still there does that sound correct???

 

i would take it somewere else.
