Easy way to kill a turbo
Remove the U tube and keep driving.
Seen this so often it makes me sick. Junk turbo in a day under the wrong conditions = no U tube and heavy road grit/dust/sand...

Very few people have turbo problems.........so statisticly speaking, you are unlikely to also. Thats the basis of my statement. I generally keep real close tabs on my cars.........brakes, tires, when the oil is due for changing, etc.......those are far more important to keep an eye on.

Are the Federal and California turbos interchangable? Is one the KKK and the other a Garret?
