Default Alright......lets hear your turbo horror stories....

I recently had to de-boost my ls and return to stock due to financial issues. I figured maybe if i heard all your horror stories of blowing up your motors it would make me feel better so let hear your stories!!

This post will get you nowhere. You'll hear good and bad things. But it really depends on how the car was put together, tuned, and drove.

i'll start with a friend since u ******* arent coming up with anything

cruising on the highway in a built ls turbo hatch on 9 psi, and what comes up next to him but a viper.... 3rd gear roll dead even, until about 6500 in 4th gear when it goes POP. wite smoke everywere...car dies and wont start back up.. we figure its just a head gasket because we didnt think he'd melt a je piston on 9psi. tow it home and once its there, he tries starting her up just to see what happens, and it actually starts, but wants to die. took the head off the next day and cylinders walls #2 and 3 had crack all the way down the sleeve . turns out an injector froze.
