Nic Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I feel like crying My car went in yesterday to get the turbo kit fitted, which I was really excited about. Got a message today saying there is a problem. I've just been down to see my car, basically the complete compressor side of number 2 turbo has disintegrated and been ingested by the engine. There are bits of turbo in the intake piping, in the engine oil and even in the exhaust. It was still running when I managed to get off the highway when the turbos went, but it must be completely trashed inside from the amount of metal that's gone through it. I can't afford to get her fixed, so not sure what I'm going to do now. I'm off to find a big tall building, I may be some time..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steb9780 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Sorry to hear that mate. Nothing worse than something going wrong on the car, put's you on a real downer. I have just found that my clutch is slipping, it's ruined Xmas knowing that the car isn't running properly. Just going to drink a lot to help forget about it.
