Like we don't bleed enough money during the holidays! Luckily i had a turbo fund set up but I hadn't quite reached my goal $$ yet, time to do some number crunching.

Default on the morning drive to work, 3 minutes after start up, low rpm, felt a slight hestitation

stopped at the lights (this was in town), car idle dropped a bit then i smelled the stench and noticed wonderfully white smoke billowing past my window. Definitely fogged a lot of people out... No turbo lady, no warning just, no noise just smoke pouring out to the tailpipes.

Just like that. That's disheartening. Time to rewrite the letter to Santa.
