Hey,
Why must everyone dog on her for trying to do something different. I understand it is way more expensive and stuff, but she is attached to her car, and wants to do it and IS doing it is more the point. Might as well stop being rude and just say some points if you have any and it;ll be a cool thread to follow and see how it unfolds.
Melissa, good luck, and i'll be excited to see how it unfolds.

FINN makes a good point and also keep in mind he has a GLT which is higher compression. You will get low 14's with a simple tune and 16T upgrade and exhaust.
But I would try running like an 18T and EBC (direct bolt on) and will definitely net high 13's and be easy and quick.
Just my 2 cents. Everyone is different.

Bought the car with a broken odometer at 176K the electric one still works so been writing it down. I'm around 210 and change. Tranny blew.
Dad's old 245 hit 365K before getting hit by someone and his current 940 just rolled over 300K

In Topic: Massive Oil Leak From Intercooler And Turbo

19 March 2012 - 03:20 AM

If you have the PCV routed to a bottle than its not the pcv as it cannot put oil into the turbo.
It could be the seals in the turbo has gone and its blowing oil....have you checked for shaft play in it?
My money is on the turbo as its coming out of the intercooler.
Get the engine hot and pull the dip stick and see if steam stuff come up and also open the oil cap and see if there is oil that wants to blow out.
