Comp turbo failure less than a mile

knuckles899 · 08-31-2017, 02:29 PM

Well unfortunately me and the wife have some disagreements about my hobby and where I was planning on going with it. I will be selling and parting out everything I have. The turbo kit will come with a brand new turbo and brand new intercooler 0 miles on them to avoid any metal dust concerns, rest of the kit has 2.5 miles on it. I will start disassembly soon and will update this thread when everything is posted in the classifieds.

Damn!! Sorry to hear that. I've been in your boat and I completely understand. Some things I do I wage a savage disinformation campaign on. My engine popping is still refuted to be damaged spark plugs in some wine drinking circles brought on by me refusing to listen to the GF when she told me something smelled like gas in the garage allegedly.

Bummer.

I've bee in that boat too with the first wife.

Second wife has been great. Long as the bills are paid, and I keep her happy.

The messed up thing is she wanted a wake boarding boat really bad......so we got one awhile back....all the bells and whistles....not a cheap thing to buy. It doesn't bother her at all with the cost to own one of those....the car on the other hand seems too

I dont plan on keeping the boat either now.....if the car doesn't make sense neither does the boat right? Not financially smart to have either.

Live and learn.

Makes more sense to keep the boat and the car and get rid of the wife.

You're

My wife just tried that with me. It wasn't hard to tell I wasn't having any of it. "Want me to help you pack?" I was pissed.

You have a little while before the Yorkie puppies are born. Folks who are waiting on litters to be born are her friends on Facebook or previous customers. You have a couple of weeks to prepare. This is your warning. LOL
