My jacked up car
So I picked up my car from paint, and it has acquired a weird rattle. It sounds like its coming from the turbo or downpipe and not the motor thank god. I pulled over on the way home from the paint shop and the damn DP was glowing red. Anyway, enjoy. On another note.. YouTube really makes videos significantly darker then their original format.

Well, I doubt they beat on it too much more then I normally do. There is a heat shield there, but I put my hand on it to see if it was vibrating and that is not the issue. The cat is some 3" ebay thingy, so I'm willing to bet that it is just toast. Either way, i'm gonna pull the turbo and replace it w/ my 2871 at the same time.

Well... I got a paint job done for 800 bucks... If I picked up the car and it had a blown motor or diff or something, then heads would roll. Turbo's do die, and I doubt they could have done something to kill my turbo that I wasn't already doing since my 2871 is sitting in my apartment The really shitty news is that my custom 3" exhaust has the cat welded in-line. So it looks like I am gonna try to swap the turbo, and if that fails... gotta physically cut the cat out.
