all,
i'm looking for a stock replacement turbo, used, cheap, not looking to spend much money. some of you know my issue, some don't....but sort of in short, here goes: i will be leaving here for good around Feb 20th, need to 1)get the car out of impound lot. 2) get car in running condition in order to ship home. 3) get car in running condition to get safety insp.®istration renewed. as some of you know, my turbo took a crap on me right before i deployed last year, allowing oil to blow through the ebgine causing it to smoke quite badly, if i can get a turbo on there and run some engine cleaner through the engine ( whats the best engine cleaner and where can i get it??) , get the horn to work, get with Stew to trade back wheels/tires then i can pass the safety insp and all will go well. heres the issue, and where advice is needed...i am hoping that if i do the above, new turbo& engine cleaner run through the motor, will it fix the problem? if not, what else could be making it smoke, it didn't smoke til the turbo crapped out and i figure the oil blow-by through the motor caused this, especially since the tailpipe ends were caked with oil residue. time is ticking and i will be going home for a month over the holidays, so time is of the essence, advice/help is appreciated. if anyone has a good enough to stop the smoking and get me through a safety insp turbo they can part with, i'm interested. reason i've decided to keep it is that i've had little to no interest from anyone to buy the car, and no where to put it once i get it out of the impound lot. i figure the fixing of the car can be done in a wekend, i'd like to do it this weekend as i leave for a month a week from tomorrow. i don't mean to burden anyone with my problems, but all i've seen from this group is support and it is appreciated.
sorry for the huge post.
