so i ran over 1000 kms on the car in 24 hours, car worked flawlessly, last 30kms thou it felt alittle slower then normal. got to my parents and the turbo sounded a little weird. when I left it sounded like a supercharger
i got 4 kms to my place and it had a heavy knock to her
Checked the oil....NO OIL left in the motor...Checked the Oil yesterday evening before leaving the Oil was perfect.
what are the odds the motor is done?
If it's a rod bearing then by the time you hear knocking I think the crank is in need of a regrind. That said my sisters neon lost a rod bearing and after the knocking started it still got ran waaaay too much but I threw a new bearing in and it ran fine and didn't knock anymore, she sold the car and afaik it's still kickin'. The rod journal was oval and worn too.
Dump some oil in, fire it up, and see what happens...

if your VNT sounds like a supercharger, then your vanes are stuck closed, and your overboosting bad (lack of power)
only time ive ever heard a VNT sound like a G60 was when it was being oversped horribly.
i would say that its either very ill, or else about dead.. if your car drank 5 quarts of oil in 1000km, then it had a serious issue. thats almost as bad as my Audi 5kTD, it used a whole pan of oil in 300 miles.. and i believe they take 6 quarts?
