hey guys!!!
nothing wrong with it yet, but i have 93,000 miles on my gsx and the stock turbo is still pumpin for the 4g63. i was told that turbo life is usually coming close to an end right about where i am at. i dont know if that is true, if not someone please set me straight. also, would it be possible, effective, economical or even worth rebuilding the stock turbo if something does happen to it?????? i would appreciate your input, thanks!!!!!!! -------------------- You CAN sleep in your car, but your CAN NOT race your house!!!

That would be boost creep. Could be caused by a broken mbc giving you inconsistent boost. Also could be caused by carbon build up in your wastegate housing not allowing enough exhaust gasses to bypass the turbine since you are using the original factory turbo. You might want to try turning the boost down for the time being until someone can log your car to see if the high boost that you're hitting is causing bad knock. If you can make it out to the farm meet this weekend, I can log your car for you.
