Well my ka-t pretty much blew on me going down the highway yesterday after a month of no major problems. It started out as a small stutter on my way to work in 4th gear, then it got bigger and bigger, untill it shut down. I would pray that it's just my factory fuel pump finally giving out, or i noticed it blew 2 exhaust studs out when it happened so it is most likely because of that. Either way, i have to fix the studs, and to do that i have to take evrything off, so i think im done with turboing stuff for now. It all worked pretty good for me fabricating and putting everything on myself, but these comstant little things have me going crazy!!!! It was a good atempt. I guess it technically didn't blow anything big, just 2 little studs that ruin everything.

maybee i should start small, like my ysr 50cc with a turbo off a tt 300zx

If anyone desperately needs some parts, i'd like to help them out before i put everyting on e-bay.

I might be done with 240's for now too so if someone wants mine i could think of a price.....

desperate's the name of my game right now sadly.

What manifold and turbo do you have? Also SOHC or DOHC? Let me know. Sorry to hear about the new - and let me tell me, go with your GUT feeling about things - if you decide to be done, be done - as I've been playing around with the idea since I bought the car, and it's led me to nothing but a huge huge debt.

bah nevermind just saw that you have a 89 - won't help me out, I have a 93. Thanks anyways - good luck with your decision.

haha, I'm in debt to mine like $4000 from all the **** she's done for my unemployed ***, but she never asks for a dime, just comes with loving me....I've tossed her $50 her and $50 there for gas a few times since she's driven around alot due to my car issues, and when I am employed I treat her as much as I can..I feel bad, but oh well. She offered to buy me the Grenade GX-01 rims I wanted for an early christmas present (since that great deal was going on in the group buy section)!!!! I laughed and said no, but it was tempting I must admit.
