Well they make better faster stronger parts!


So this 03 turbo, why do you think it will be better?

The 03 turbo is louder. Whistles more on the exhaust side but is said to spool a little faster. Many people just like it for the sound.

Got the motor unloaded and drained the oil and quite a bit of coolant came out before thick black oil. Has blown coolers both egr and oil.

Fuel system is good though checked the filter and it looked almost brand new.

Re: Sh**'s about to get real

Spent about 2hrs at the shop this morning and tore into it more. Got both valve covers off the intake manifold off and the Hpop and injectors out. Wanted to get the heads off but ran out of time. I'm less worried about then now as I found a rebuilder that takes them no matter what shape or cracked as cores.

Lots of water in the intake and the intake ports 6 out of 8 cylinders were full of water. Driver side valve cover was covered in gunk but the oil rails injectors and Hpop all still had good oil in them and the Hpop and cover were clean as was the passenger side valve cover.

Next up is to start selling some parts and get new ones. Current turbo is probably already sold also once I swap the powermax on next Saturday.
