Default MOTOR BLEW today

Well today my engine blew up.. I was doing about 45MPH when I hear a bang and (clank, clank clank) Oil presure drop and oil started to spill under the car...

I might part out my Whole car... I think I'm done with it...

Also I need a stock motor (low miles) If some one has one or knows some one please let me know....

What do you guys think it happend?

been there and one it twice. i say build it and drive it into the ground and get your moneys worth out of it. no sense in fixing it, getting raped on the resale and then getting a car slower than what you had.

I have tons of good parts on the car and just install a NA motor and sell the car...

I think on less than a year I put over 12K on the stupid turbo... (re-tune, 2 bad turbos, bad map sensor, and now this....

get rid of it and get a factory turbo'd car and sell the parts to US!
