Well, i was on my way to class today, and suddenly there was a lack of power, car was smoking, and the car seemed to sound a litte funny. The turbo was making some hurricane noises so i think it finally went, or is in the process of going. Also the 4th cyl seems to be not fully firing. Anyone know what this could possibly be, the turbo doesnt quite explain the 4th cyl. Anyways, i want this thing gone, so if your around inwood wv, and want a hell of a project MAKE ME AN OFFER!!!! i just want money to put a down payment on a car. I am frustrated, and in over my head. And i need this thing gone soon.

Ive got school, and my professors wont understand if i constantly miss class cause i HAVE NO CAR.

The turbo has been going bad for a while now, i guess running 9psi didnt help. Ive got another turbo for it, same size, just has a different o2 side(just have to switch over the housing) Ive got a new o2 housing coming, cause it had an sr housing and that anoyed me. Its running stock side mount right now. Ive got the front mount on, and have some piping, but it needs hooked up and may need a few more pipes(also needs battery relocated) The 4th cyl, im thinking could be a coilpack. Ive got a bunch of extras gonna try it. When i got the head gasket and stuff done, i didnt go ahead and replace the rod bearings so that wouldnt be a bad idea. speedo doesnt work. body has lots of miles, but is in GREAT shape. Car has been running great until this turbo fiasko. I wanna get this 300zx in winchester, and i need money for a downpayment.
