Dead turbo? Easy fix.

Head gasket isn't "that" deep bro. Save your money and change the gasket

Well I'll have the cash for it in a few weeks and I figure, build it and be safe than sorry...

well, I think I just found the problem. I didn't find any milky looking coolant or anything plus the car really never overheats. The smoke didn't smell sweet either. So, I took the car out again just now to drive it. Got on it a little bit to spool the turbo up and I had no boost. Also, the normal loud spool I had was completely different than usual. It wasn't loud at all and no matter how much I get on the gas, the boost gauge just sits at zero..lol. So, I pull back into my garage and guess what, the smoke is gone!!!!

Boost leak. Severe boost leak.

Nice.

I'm not going to have the money to build a motor for at least another year. So I'm sticking to low boost, and 225whp this year, lol. If I can get motivated and swap this motor.

 

[SCMP3]

It's not a hard swap. Can be done in a weekend for sure. If I were closer I'd say let's do it....as I've pulled protege motors countless times before

I hate wrenching.

Someone with more motivation could have had this done months ago, lol.

 

[SCMP3]

True.

 

[rally2003]

I did 2 motor pulls this year alone and will plobably be pulling the motor again next fall

Glad to see the smic have a nice new home.

It was a nice, easy install, and it made a huge difference over the stock unit.

I polished it up with a fine scuffing pad and some fine steel wool, and now it looks good as new.
