Default Dentist Drill

When going to boost, I am starting to hear what I have to believe is the dreaded dentist drill sound. I'm driving her pretty easy right now, how long do I possibly have, any ideas? I'll be going with new turbos, but with a baby on the way, getting ready to purchase an SUV and my wife getting ready to stop working, I want to put off the 10k+ cost as long as possible

(The SUV is to save her back putting the baby in and out of the car plus it is just safer)

TIA

SUV's arent really safer, they are built to truck crash test standards.I ran a year with the "drill"

Default These are 2 year ago prices. In a month time retail on turbo's alone will be near $2600 =(....

Brian from Avalon has some of the better pricing and he is around 2800 for the whole set up.

ECS is 3100 already.

Default Do it all now

I don't know if this is your first child, but if you really love the B5 go Stage 3 now. I have a 1 year old and went through the same thing as you except we bought a Suby Outback. Once the kid comes you will have a lot less money. Bight the bullet and do it all now. It is so worth it to be Stage 3.
