Thats sucks, I would still contact them and see if they are willing to cut you a deal on repairs or something.

I wish it was, but it wasn't.

$1600 turbo down the drain. For sale, who wants it, precision can rebuild it.

I have to get it back to precision for an estimate, either way, someone could come out with a new GTS76 for ~$1000.

It ain't bad. Just spray some WD-40 in it and put it back on! You'll be fine

Sorry about the bad luck man. Did it at least happen after the shootout?

Bethca you wouldn't have had any problems if you had a Procharger under the hood all this time

Just messin' with ya man. I am a die hard blower guy, but even I can admit the Turbo's are more efficient, and more capable of making power (when they don't break).

It happened the day BEFORE the shootout, I borrowed my buddies T76 to put on the car though for now. It is still cutting out bad though that we can't figure out.

That sucks dude.

I wasn't able to make it down due to not being able to take the time off from work.
