you might have oil/coolant leaked into your turbo.. i wold pop the intake pip to the upper plenum/TB and then see if there is a puddle of oil or something sitting there. it should be .. almost completely dry

well, i got home and checked my dip-stick and my oil looked nice and clean... about 2500 miles since last oil change. i also popped open my radiator cap and saw all green fluid in there so that seems good. So, i dont think its a head gasket... i just cant wait to drop it off on tuesday to ATX in bergenfield....

see what all that worrying gets u. I love my car, but have come to realize that when problems arise, u need to think logically, and not get all hot an bothered by things that u are not positive of.
Good luck with ur car.

If his vacuum line came off (at the turbo inlet pipe/filter) and it was raining hard enough its possible...Ryan was that vacuum line loose?

honestly, i didn't ask the guy... he said i probably went in to a puddle(which i dont recall) and it sucked in a lil bit of water that wasnt enough to get it to the turbo????? i got no idea so i shut my mouth and said thanks after paying another 178$!!! i keep wasting more and more money on keeping my car running normal and im not even getting anything out of it.... starting to **** me off.... now i have a noise coming from the exhaust... sounds like something is loose and clanging around.... ugh
