I took my turbo off today and ran my engine. Theres no burning oil at all. I also completely disasembled my turbo. It's off a volvo 740. I saw a couple of rebuild kits for it and not familiar. The cheapest one I found is $50. Does anyone have any experiences with these kits, I'm afraid it does'int come with everything. After my turbo is rebuilt, I'm just gonna go ahead and sell my car, i'm tired of working on it. I'm going to build myself a miata, i'm sure there way more relible and funner to drive. I'm beginning to hate my car, I love it when it worksfine, but when it acts up, I can't stand it!!!!!! http://www.turbocity.com/produ...d=166

lol, I hear ya man....everytime you fix something, something else breaks...I hate it. I don't know how serious I am selling my car yet, but I really might have to so I can try and get half out of my debt.

I'm starting to learn that - no matter what car you get, if you mod it - it will become unreliable - so unless you got the cash to put up, just leave the car alone until you do, but if you have to mod pretty much take your favorite car, and look at your money, and dive in with fingers crossed.

What you guys are missing isi that if you mod a car, you have to do it right. No cutting corners or anything of that bull****s. Do it right from the first time and have no problems later on down the road.

sadly enough I didn't have the chance to mod the car. I bought a car that was modded with all sorts of corners cut, and cheapo off name brand parts, and now i'm fixing every god damn thing to make it solid, like I was made to believe that it was in the first place I know you can't cut any corners and have to buy name brand stuff (not ****ing SSAUTOGARBAGE ****)....it just sucks that I got stuck with a car like this and having to pay the price for a modded one, when in reality, I should of just paid the price for a stock one, as I've had to basically re-mod everything myself with better parts.
