Im in the smoking turbo club.:(

[SharkDiver]

Hey all,
Well I installed my TXS DP about 3k-4k miles ago and just today the turbo started smoking.Ive had a oil CC on for a few months and was hoping this would save me but no dice.My car is a 07 so I was just waiting for this to happen and it did.I ordered a re-worked K04 from PG but they are about 2-3 weeks behind so I will have to drive with a smoking turbo for awhile.Man I was really hoping I would be one of the lucky ones with a good turbo.This came at a bad time too because Im suppose to goto the dragstrip this sunday for test runs and on the 24th Im suppose to race my brother in his 04 Mach1 with intake and exhaust.He has been giving me crap about how I will never beat him for years and now its time to find out and my turbo took a dump..Im wondering it I will be ok to run it with the seals leaking?I will have to look into this.

i would think that as long as your oil levels are up to specs, run it. Show ur bro that the only replacement for displacement is when you blow real hard. lol.

I'd run it, actually I wouldn't. That would suck to really mess something up. But I don't know that much about turbo cars. I'm gonna race against my bro next year and look forward to it. He has a 04 STI. I'll probably lose but ohwell, it'll be sweet

I'm really just kidding. I guess i should have made my sarcasm more appearant. Baby it until you get the upgrade. I'm looking to go the same route if/when mine starts to smoke. Its only made me nervouus twice but it was minor and went away immediately and i only have a gutted cat.

Rotary is the only replacement for displacement.....

 

[jville]

i think you are confused jcurry, rotary often leads to replacement, lots of replacments. lol

Rotary is the only replacement for displacement.....

I thought rotary... or turbo!! Now if only there was a car that was attractive, rotary, and had a turbo.... NO! had TWO turbos. And wouldn't it be wonderful if Mazda could build a car like that. Oh, and rear wheel drive as well.

If only....... (sssh)





^^
btw that's sarcasm, I ******* love the FD RX-7
