Default My GTRS just **** the bed.

Driving along on the highway in 4th at full boost and just lost power. Popped the hood once i got stopped and it was glowing red. I will pull it tomorrow and give an update on the carnage. I have bad luck with ATP turbo's this is the second one that croaked on me. This one atleast lasted 9k miles. The last only lasted 3k. Its amazing how slow my car is now, the lowered compression doesnt help.

The good thing is its under warranty and i got my Febi control arm kit installed today.

Default sux bro.. im getting my gt2x rebuilt locally.. and lets see what happens..

if it lasts more than before that means ATP is doing something wrong..
