well my 14b finaly blew up on me. i had just put in my new boost gauge and boost controler today and me and brandon (me612) were on our way to some festival down by the border of mexico. i was in the middle of passing some truck and i lost a lot of power all of a sudden. well at first i thought the hoses for the boost gauge poped off and i was looseing presure. so i stopped to find out if i could fix it but the hoses appeared to be fine but there was a ton of smoke comeing from the exhaust. so we tryed to keep going. thats when i heard it. a low howling noise comeing from the engine when ever i pressed on the gas and a whole lot of smoke comeing from the exhaust :headache: . so im pretty sure the turbo is dead. but its all good cause when i bought the car i bought a 16g not to long afterward ive just been waiting to put it on. so i guess now is a good time. all i need now is a 7cm gasket. anyone know where i could get one fast and cheap.
