Someone please remind me why I am supposed to love this car. mad.gif

On the way to work this morning, just after filling up, pull onto the hiway and slowly get into the throttle. Just as I'm shifting into 3rd at a modest 50mph whoof.... WTF was that? Car is a complete dog... first thought is blown intercooler line... pull over and pop the hood. Nope, everything's tight. Oh shit. Start it up again. This time white smoke that I hadn't noticed earlier pours from the exhaust. Oh F@#$!!

Best guess at this point is either a head gasket or turbo that blew. Car has been eating (not leaking) antifreeze for the last couple weeks.

Pricing different turbos, just to prepare myself for a high price tag. Placed a call to Pioneer Park for grins... Anyone care to guess what a factory fresh 14b runs from the dealer....

$1,427.16... plus tax.. blink.gif
