They were having issues and wondered what a turbo going bad sounded like. I sooooo wanted to ask you! I bet you know the answer. Not because yours has gone south but because you are o knowledgable about that stuff!

Sorry, I don't have experience with a turbo going bad. If I had to guess just from sound, I would be listening for extra noise from worn out bearings in the turbo.

Nope, rarely gets muggy here. Maybe in August with the monsoons and such, but it's not unbearable. It's not Florida. F that place.

hey there haboob!

Haboob · 04-28-2013, 08:21 PM

Just got back from the baseball game. I'm 2-0 when going. They should be giving me tickets to attend.

I am going Mon. and Tues. night too. Hopefully I'll be 4-0!

Time to go motoring around a bit in the Z, since I haven't driven it today... I shall return.
