A rebuild is as little as 1000 bucks.


I would hold out until you can afford it.

Doesn't sound TOO bad actually. Service limit I BELIEVE is around 130? Someone correct me if I'm wrong

123 (or 121 on the sheet I've got right now)

2g 4g63t is 133

^^ Thank you. Like I said before, get a leakdown test done before jumping to any conclusions. There's more than one thing that could be burning oil on an engine. Pull off the o2 housing and make sure the turbo's up to snuff

Sorry I'm good at jumping to conclusions. I will take the o2 housing off tomorrow and I will try and get in as soon as I can to get a leakdown test. thanks for all the help.

I had similar issues. Called Chris over at Map. Took the whip down there and got a leak down test. Turns out one of the exhaust valves was bad on number 2. There doing a head job on it right now and also figured out the head was warped.
It's your call rather you want to fix it or not but it's obvious that needs help. My advice is take it in to a shop and get the leak down test done.

I am gona get a leakdown test done asap. I think the engine wasn't the best when I bought it but driftn1g brought his logger over today and when the boost spikes it knocks a ton so I think that is what did it in.

Here is a little update if anyone is interested. I finally got up to lse today to have a leakdown test done and they said all I should need is valve seals/a valve job.
