It's not like the timing belt broke. All the valves and everything are ok (or at least he says they are and he wouldn't lie to me). If I do have more problems I will just sell it or PRAY that it gets totaled somehow. LOL

OK, here is an update... The car went under the knife yesterday. I went down to see how it was going and he is attempting to do the swap w/out pulling the engine out. He also said that my drivers side turbo is leaking a good amount of oil. HOWEVER the turbo is NOT making any bad noises, or at least it wasn't when I bought it. So my question is, what should I do with them???

get a credit card and two Ko4's


Ko4's in Josh's S4 = josh/[sm=gears.gif]

 

HAHA... If I replace the turbo's it's going to be a single turbo setup.

P.S. I already am in the planning stages of it.

UMMM..............


So I don't know if anyone else did this wrong too... BUT I figured out what cause all my problems and it WAS in fact the W/M Kit.....

Here is what happened... When i was installing the W/M kit the nozzles have that little screen thing on them... WELL I guess those are NOT supposed to be put into the air stream... SO thats right apparently I put the nozzles' in upside-down and you guessed it one came off and got sucked through the engine... THUS bending an intake valve, destroying a piston and possibly the turbo... We can't see the turbo however so don't know for sure...

SO if anyone else made the stupid mistake like me of installing the nozzle upside-down, SWITCH IT ASAP!!!!!!!!

I called Devils own and they said "Sorry... we can't do anything..." It would have been nice if they showed some instructions on how the nozzle is supposed to me mounted for people like me who have not done one of these setups before.

SO yeah... this freaking freaking freaking sucks.

ouch...what a heart ache[X(].. hope it's gets better for you Josh

 

yeah that sucks man big time wish i could help you some how

 

I just got back from the shop and it is not good at all...

So far it destroyed a valve, the piston, and the turbo on that side has a LOT of play in the shaft... like a lot! It hits the side walls if you pull up on the shaft a bit and turn it.

The drivers side turbo is also on it's way out... it's leaking a good amount of oil. SO i think new turbo's is in the feature. I might even do my custom turbo setup now but I am not sure yet...

I will post pictures of the damage.

Here are some pictures of the damage... Can you guess which cylinder it was? And there is a bent valve but it's hard to see in the pictures.
