For those of us thinking about doing this...burn the car and collect the insurance money.

My Jetta only has liability insurance due to being totaled from hail damage while I lived in Texas, so no insurance money for me. I’ll still drive it till the engine seizes.

On my Juke the turbo is behind the engine. To remove the turbo I would need to remove the engine.

Props man, you’ve got determination. I’ve seen engine swaps done in less time.

If the turbo goes, I’m calling a flat bed and going dropping it on a dealer to trade.

haha ... on my Saab 900 the turbo is pretty darn accessible, but I have no idea how hard it would be to replace. What car is this?
