    turbo on its way out?

    getting some whte/bluish smoke if revving engine a bit - not an insane amount but certainly enough to be concerned - so I am starting to look into what would my best options be in case the turbo ends up shitting itself someday soon. Replace with stock again or are there another direct bolt on...

    lookin at a MSP

    I'm not afraid to get under the hood and do some work if needed. I usually don't drive hard, and drive only on highways to school and back. I don't know if i can pass up $3900 for an 118k MSP in great shape. Timing belt has been done, all routine maintenance up to date. Not buying to mod...
