I'm telling you....dont do it. Find another cheap car to drive for a little while and just leave it with me. I'm backed up a ton now but I can help with it in my "spare?" time.

Believe me when I say this too.
The most annoying, fun, unreliable(to begin with), most daily driven, worst gas mileage(14mpg @track), best gas mileage (32mpg highway), the slowest(except for the pinto that one time), the fastest by .003seconds, I HATE IT, I LOVE IT.
Its been a roller coaster but in my opinion people are measured by how well they stick with it when faced with difficulties.
Don't give in. Have something you can look back on......Maybe you would even one day be able to say "I have the SECOND fastest 2.3 mustang in Virginia....next to Matt"

Well...umm...I found a local guy thats a turbo nut that works at another Firestone and he said "I heard you were selling your car. Dont do that!" I dont know how knew I was thinking selling my car. I only told about 2 people that I was even thinking about it. Anyway he lives about 3 minutes from my parents house and he said that I should buy a used turbo, bolt it on and then bring it to him so we can figure out whats wrong with the car. He's not gonna charge me any labor for anything cuz its what he likes to do. I've been looking locally and the cheapest T3 or IHI i can find USED is $300. What a rip. I'll take him up on his offer and try one more freakin time.
