Been a LONG time since posting here (work, twin boys last year, work, and, oh, yeah twin boys and work...). For those who remember, I had the modified Talladega 900, the '88 SPG and now the modified '93 Commemorative.
First turbo failed while on the last days of warranty (49,950 miles on 50,000 mile warranty...), and now this one. I do change oil faithfully every 3000 with Mobil-1.
Car is 2002 Wagon, and has the GS CAI, Forge BPV, BSR cat-back, and MP DP. Should I stick with another TD04, or go with something else? If so what? I'd really not like to re-engineer the exhaust manifold or DP, so something bolt-on would be preferable. I've been reading about the TD06 as a possible direct bolt-on. Anyone have experience with it?
Thanks, Jim
