Ok update, So i had to get parts for Ashley's car today down in Rose ville, which is east of Detroit. That's a 4hr drive for me. So i did it in Betty boost!!!! She made it! about 500 some miles. I also fixed the stuttering problem with some NGK bpr7es, i had the 6es in there but i upgraded. Aj set me up with a 2g maf plug and some 3bolt auto axles so i hope they work in my car cause it's a 5 spd.

Ok....bad news so i went to go do some work in Er today and got about 3 miles away and started to hear what sounded like bearing noise. So i thought my alternator bearings are gone. Went back home and went to bed. After she cooled i checked my alternator, it was good? hmmm so i decided to check my turbo. It was toast!!!!! i could move it in a circle about the size of a dime and pull it in and out about a quarter of an inch. Sigh the 16g is dead back to the 14b.

nope i only have gotten at my highest 4 counts of knock, when i bought the car the headgasket was replaced, i forgot to retorque it after 500 mi so it was never as tight as it needed to be causing the oil to get in the coolant
