time for upgrade

So my thoughts were right!! figured my turbo was gone due to smoke clouds behind me when i shifted and power was also down. Took the intercooler and vam hose off the turbo and oil every where, shaft play front to back is about a 1/4" play...!! Guess its time for my completely rebuilt T3 from turbonetics.:burnout:

Wow!  That wasn't expected.  At least it gives you an excuse for new parts. :) You'll like the turbo upgrade...  What trim are you looking at?  0.48? 0.63?  You may want to upgrade to a higher flow fuel pump with your turbo upgrade... :burnout:

Your pump cant handle too much more. Depending on what size turbo you get. I wouldn't go passed 15-16lbs to be safe.
