he said he shut off the coolant or some shit like that to the turbo charger? the boost reading still works but never goes above 0psi the the turbo definatly has no function at the moment, but what gets me is the car sill has plenty of power, it stalls sometimes at idle, is this because of the turbo being disabled somehow? now im just wondring how he could just do that and still have the vehicle operate, i mean the air intake still goes through the turbine, but if there is no movement wont that restrict allmost all the air flow, i guess im just confused. someone please help me out on this one, my 1st gen needs that turbo despirately!! should i just take it out and check to see what was damaged, and if i dont find anything clean it up and put it back in? THERE MUST BE AN EASY WAY TO DO THIS!!!! ARGGHHH

?

Have fun!

Sorry, man, I wish I knew what exactly that guy did;he said he disconnected the oil line to lubricate the turbo and drove around the car like that? Hmmm.

??? You might wanna take it in to Mitsubishi and see if they know whats wrong. Ya it cost a bitch but if he lied to you then you might be able to get him to eat the cost of repair?? I Duno? just a thought?

I use to have a White 99 GS Sport with a Star Stage II Ball Bearing T3/T4 turbo...it was fun untill....well those who remember me know Oh Ya...this is what I have now... a 99' GSX...

Why he cut the oil/water lines to the turbo??

If so, sounds like the turbo is seized up which now adds increased back pressure to the engine...
