wtf! i was planning on going turbo with my 00 y7, but then the isb starts going in the tranny. so i figure hey ill just get an ex trans while im at it... well the ex sounds just as bad :mad: also the motor is making this annoying tick tick tick which hopefully a valve lash adjustment should fix. plus im going to need a new clutch and maybe flywheel too. and then the right rear brake starts grinding... but even so by the time im done fixing the trans and buying some tools and fixing the odds and ends, i wont have enough money to turbo for that much longer, ive already been saving for a while even so... what would you do?

if i were you .. i would re[air what needs to be repaired ... you dont want to turbo it and then fuck it up even more ... you just have to be pacient and wait ... you never know someoe might give you a turbo set up (like a friend or somthing) ... i dont know .. but i would repair everything and then put the turbo in ... thats what im doing .

Hell I bought one that needs money dumped into it just to make it daily drivable. It only has 1 seat belt.
