My Turbo is dead.

Well they actually got the Turbo by magic but according to the analysis it was dead due to thermal break down. It cost from 1200-1600 for a new one or to repair the old one so Sonic might be doing a custom job with a water cooled Turbo.

That sounds like the build up of several problems, oil backing up in the seals and getting hot, not enough time for cool down after longer use, and overall bad merchandise. You havnt had that too long, but I guess since you waited so long to put on, the warrenty went to crap.

Sorry to hear that man.

Could be but Seth doesn't think so

I always cool down the Z for this reason

Can't chime in here as I'm no expert
