All your R&D for the turbo kit is done. If the motor is blown rebuild it.

I'm pretty burned out on mod'ing cars, and this was the straw that broke the camels back. I am going to clear space in my shop this week to dismantle my CSVT and part 'er out. Keep your eyes on the classifieds for my ad

Wait, so you've already done the compression test? Have you confirmed that the motor is bad?

1) Do compression test first!

2) Looks to me like maybe it is just fuxored seals in the turbo.

I'm going to do a compression test, to see if it is the engine or turbo. I simply don't have time for a project car anymore I know it may seem petty to just call it quits over something like this, but I've dumped my last couple of hundred bucks into this car. I was planning on selling the car once it was tuned and dialed in, but at this point I'd make a little more just parting the car out.

I'll be carefully dismantling the car this next week in preperation of selling it all.

Trust me - I'm on the brink of wanting to sell my CSVT too. Maybe that's why I'm dragging my heels on my 3L conversion.

But at LEAST do a compression test before you dismantle it. It's such an easy test! You may just find it's only a bad trubo and you could get another one and be happy again - what do you have to lose?

I just ordered a compression tester w/ the correct 14mm long adapter, so it's only a matter of time now.
