Earlier today; "Weeee, this is ridiculous amounts of fun! Best winter beater ever! ... Hey, what's that smell?, and where is all that blue smoke coming from?"

Needless to say I'll be looking for a new turbo the following days. Fuck!

Cheap car is getting expensive. Looks like fun though!

Hell no!, I'm gonna keep it cheap by buying a second hand turbo, which seems to be around $300-$400... which is not cheap at all actually :/

Haha, you can use SEK when you talk to me, no problem. Hopefully you'll find a good cheap turbo!

Which turbo? I paid 150 for a 9k mile Super 16G.....

CA18ET, I assume?

Maybe it's a sign that you need to do a turbo upgrade!

Yup. But honestly I really don't have time to upgrade or mod this car too much as I kinda depend on it being my DD. Stock hp output is more than enough for these kind of driving conditions IMO.

I really don't know too much about turbos but I think it's called a Garret T2 or something like that.

The best one I've found yet seem to be one with 10k miles on it for $350.

But... but, Non-interference belt engine! Dual sparkplugs! Intercoolerless turbo! Don't you see?! The CA18ET is a marvelous engineering masterpiece on it's own.

But sure if you happen to have one lying around I will gladly take it of your hands :)

The DET, maybe, but eeeeh I dunno about the CA18ET. Both are notorious time bombs according to most tuner circles.
