Well I had the local mechanic
Well I had the local mechanic do the valve adjustment and first trip out after the work and about 1 1/2 minutes after I got the rpms up to the turbo range I hear a sound that sounded like a potato gun going off and rpms drop from 3000 to about 1000. I pulled some things apart and the seal around the air intake is nowhere to be found so I think it went through the turbo and pelted the intercooler. After a week delay in him repairing it I pull the intercooler to get the seal out of it and I guess the force of the seal busted the intercooler cooling pipes and now I have ingested saltwater for about 3 minutes max run time post event and it has been sitting since last Sunday. I told the mechanic what I found and he is going to have a look tomorrow afternoon. Do you guys think it is done barring a major overhaul? Thanks for your advice.
