There is no real evidence of old oil. The oil looks and smells fresh. From right after the oil change. I did clean out the intercooler, but you're right, there may be more in it than what I already got. You have some better cleaning suggestions?

How did you end up overcoming it? I've checked the line, seems fine, and the pcv valve seems to be operational.

You have a picture of how your return line is now so I can compare?

Exhaust. Due to the extreme amount of smoke produced, I could only go about a 1/4 mile down the road and back. Thought someone would have called the cops, thats how bad the smoke was. Oil level is fine, but there was some fresh oil around the top intercooler pipe next to the line that runs to...

I just recently had the turbo rebuilt. Put the turbo, mani, radiator, intercooler, etc. all back together. Oil changed and coolant flushed. Ran the car for about 2.5-3 hours. Smoke seemed to be clearing. Looked for any leaks or potential leaks, found nothing. Took a dealer plate home and...

You could always buy the parts off it. Talk to them, sure they'll do it. It's sodium silicate. If you're not familiar with it, it basically hardens like glass when it's exposed to air. If it breaks though, it will cut you. I know, first hand.

Eh. Def. interesting. I'd rather make my MSP AWD. Seeing I'm from New-England, we could always use some 4-wheel action.

The car is currently stock. The nice thing is, it only has like 48K on it. Pretty good condition. I checked out the forums already. Not that I don't trust the guys on the forum, but money isn't flowing in right now and I'm not sure I'm willing to buy a used turbo with no guarantee. Apparently...

Thanks. After reading, I see that it's mostly just making it fit? So there really isn't a need to put in a larger intercooler and any reprogramming? If I have to worry about the actuator rod, why would they say it's a OEM stock fit? Unless, they mean just the bolt pattern on the GT28RS "Disco...

Ok, so I'm looking at having to replace the turbo in my MSP. The thing is, I wanted to go with the stock T25, however, it's going to be on back order until the end of August. I was told, I could just buy the GT28, problem being, I'm not totally familiar with interchanging turbos. So, here is my...

I want to go for it. Just having the cash to get it is the problem. You know those bills just catch up with ya.

I'll have to check that out, thanks!

Wondering if anyone still has their stock turbo and wants to unload it. That's if, it's still actually in GOOD working condition. I'm looking to keep the car fairly stock for a while until I can get it to pass emissions and back to road worthy conditions. Unfortunately, I can't afford a new...

I think the guy was upset, cause I practically stole it from him. He thought he would have gotten a lot more on e-bay. He was a decent guy with a nice shop but, with this economy, it sucks to be him!

I just bought one last weekend with only about 48K. Looks like I'll be buyig a turbo, some tires, and an intake(because it's missing). Body is in good condition. Has stock deck with the kicker. Also an after-market exhuast. Brakes look like they were replaced prior to being sold. Considering the...

Yea, but it's looking like I have to buy a new turbo. HAHA! Can't afford that right now though.

Just bought mine June 27th, 2009. Turn 24 July 11th, 2009.

When you going to stop by? I have band practice tonight at the studio. Not sure if I'm going out after or what.

Well, before I purchased it, I guess the guy had an intake. However, they took that off when I picked it up. So now, it has no intake. HAHA. By the looks of the springs, almost seems like they lowered the car a little. Haven't been able to crawl under it yet. The car was bought at an auction...

Pic in the rain. Just brought it home last night. To bad it rained though.
