I can honestly say I TOLD YOU SO.

Every car Catlin has ends in KA_BAM status. ;)
Nah, his girlfriends car just rubbed the curb, it didn't end in kabam status.

What are you doing to these things to get a turbo failure? That is the 2nd one in less than 2 months. It didn't hurt the rest of the engine did it?

it just went funky with overboosting to underboosting and limp modes. i think the Vanes went on the Mk5, but they are a known issue with that motor. and I did nothing for it to blow up lol

and my life almsot went kabam status when i hit the curb with Nats car, and her in it  :P

You know you can open the turbo clean out the vanes, right? It's a lot cheaper than buying a new car.

Yea but when the payment is only 70$ more a month for a new car with a warrenty compared to a car bought in November I'd rather get a new one lol, I'm tired of dealing with problems on cars I use to travel to college and back

so, you gonna let the mk5 get repo'd or just give it back?
92 Jetta GLI - Black, 1.6D w/ GT2056V turbo..
86 GTI - 4 Door, Med Twilight Gray, Tow Machine..
86 Audi Coupe GT - Tornado Red, All Stock.. WRECKED.
89 Toyota 4Runner - Dark Grey Metallic, LIFTED!

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.
