Title: Hi guys engine help
Post by: Glen1984 on 18 March 2012, 00:16
Hi all I think my engine is on its way out I'm pretty sure it's useing water and oil but no white crap on oil cap n no major smoking, I was going to spend some money on it as in update the turbo a good remap etc it has had a remap front mount induction kit s/s cat back system already but if the lump is fudged there's no point spending more on it so I'm considering a engine transplant but I'm not sue what engine? Any help would be great
