Why Me? Why is it every single part i buy is defective?
This is the finnal straw.
My turbo on my sts is now spraying oil like a fountain (only 200 miles on it)
Next step Rebuild Turbo
Following Step Sell Car
I must say its been a very fun 2 years of buying **** products. This is not a slam on sts. Im sure it was my fault some how just like my over ported heads from a certain place, or the brand new bad opti, or the 2 brand new fuel pressure regulators, over my short block build up that ended up costing more than 2 motors from a certian shop, or my k member not fiting right or my clutch shattering into a million peices and the list goes on for hours.....
Anyways thanks for letting me vent

Sorry to hear that.... Jeeze I hope the turbo was new and under some type of warranty.
Just so you know it been a sort of crappy year for me also new 383 2 rear ends 1 driveshaft and now I am just trying to not break it again before it goes under the knife again for a new 9" this winter.
Sometimes this hobby can rip your heart out, you just have to remember not to step on it while its on the ground.

Welcome to the world of hot rodding! Sounds like your problems are pretty well typical of the hobby. I have had the same problems, it just comes with the territory.
