    I went to pick my car up today and they cleaned everything. The service writter told me that the techs looked at the motor and the turbo and found nothing wrong. I told him that when oil is coming out the turbo there is something wrong. He said get it replaced and bring me the bill.

    Ok, if they tried to pass the turbo off as good, then you need to take the car to another shop and get the pan dropped to get your crank and bearings inspected. Sounds like this one is just trying to reassure you to avoid out of pocket expense.

      If the bearings were bad, the car would be knocking by now, its not. I dont see a drop in oil pressure, so I think the motor is ok. He told me if the motor blows up cause premature wear they will put a new one in. I will get that in writting. As far as the turbo, they are replacing that I am just looking for a new one, either ball bearing or a bigger one,lol.

        WEll I just got my car back, runs great. They told me that I have to bring the turbo up to them to show how the shaft is moving back and forth. Once I do that I will get my new 60-1 dual Ball bearing.

          Brought the turbo up to them today. The tech was an idiot, he was saying that I should close the wastegate and run the car to 30psi and see if the turbo makes any noice. I was like what the fuck are you talking about the engine wont handle that. He said to build a better motor. I said ok, and went to the top manager. I left the turbo with them, they are sending it to garrett and are having it inspected. I feel like I am getting a brand new garrett, well see. Also to add, one of the good techs said that my pan is still leaking. The guy that worked on my car was fuckin stupid. I am going to jack the car up tonight and check the pan, if its leaking I am getting that fixed as well and when he pulls the pan I will have him check the bearings. I am getting alot of free shit. Already got a detail, crank sensor and soon to have a brnad new turbo and new oil pan gasket.lol. I love idiots.

            Hence why you should fix this stuff yourself so you dont have to worry about it.
