Okay I've about had it with this whore. But i'll give the relationship a little more time and patience.

Okay here we go:1. I've sourced the smoking to possibly be the turbo. The shaft play on the T25 is ridiculous and there's a loooouuuud whining when I'm boosting. It's making blue smoke so I know its oil and not coolant. Plus the smoke doesn't smell like burning coolant it smells like burning oil. At least its not the headgasket. So could it be the turbo? I need someone to just say yes to me and help me figure it out. It only smokes after I boost 9psi then when I idle it smokes. I haven't lost any coolant so that isn't it. When I'm boosting at my 9spi when it hits 5000rpms I get blue smoke out the back. When I'm idling and if I keep my foot on the gas a little and keep it at 2000rpms it'll stop smoking, if i keep it there for a while it'll stop smoking.... that is until I start the cycle all over again.

2. I need tie-rods, anybody want to give them to me?

3. How do you take off the dash without breaking it? I need to check the wiring on the thing because my Tach doesn't light up at night. Pissing me off.

Thanks.

hahahah, these are ALL very easy tasks my friend...

Yes it sound exactly like the lil 25 is toasted my friend (time for T28)... Tie rods are *** crack cheap (moog) or just upgrade to some Teins or something... The dash is common sense. There are a lot of hidden scres underneath things such as vents. Just search for all teh proper screw holding it in and be careful. If its an S14 I can help...

BTW you don't need to remove the dash to get the cluster out.lower the steering column and take off the trim.you'll see all the screws for the cluster...take that out and and swap bulbs with one that works and see if that helps.
