    Na none taken mate. I've only had the car for a year. I live in rural Vic and no one knows about these cars. One bloke tried to tell me my steering arm was bent when it was fine. Did ya look at the link I put up? Cause that's exactly want mines doing. My turbos aren't patched into the exhaust they dump out underneath the engine bay. So I don't see how it could be the turbos

    Dude all turbos are driven off the engines exhaust which spins the turbine and then out into the dumps which are connected to your exhaust .

    Turbos are nutorious in blowing seals , specially when pushed hard like your trying to do .

    Yer mine aren't connected to the exhausts. I guess when the previous owner put the after market exhaust on for whatever reason they didn't plumb the down pipes into the exhaust

    so how long have you been driving with no exhaust.

    that poor clutch line must be taking a flogging
