Sorry if we hijacked the thread. We did start with diagnosing the 1249 code and I think it is still applicable, now that the solution has brought in more discussion. Anyway, if my 1249 does not disappear after I install a new turbo system, I will come back. I would like to say that ball bearing turbos last for about 100,000 miles however. They do offer great performance. With the upgraded 360 thrust bearing, non-bbs are are good for several hundred and 40lbs.. I am sticking with 30 however.

Thanks,

Lex

Also, the P1249 code is a poduct of your tuning. A new turbo or associated setup will not eliminate it.

OK, hopefully the actual driving symptoms will reside and the drivability and passing will improve. I will let everyone know. Hopefully the turbo will be installed on Wed. or Thurs. of this week. The only other thing I am having done at this time is possibly requesting they take out the cold weather valve or butterfly in the exhaust pipe just outside the turbo?

Wow, you're still going with your original plan to spend $765 bucks on something that you can get for around $200 bucks??

You need to change your user name to Donald Trump if you can afford to to throw over $500 bucks of your money away like that!

I am a Disabled Veteran and cannot do these types of things any longer myself. I grew up building cars with my dad, but just am not able to now. I enjoy the technology and hope I am a least able to make the best decisions for my rides/applications?

So was my dad. 24 years as a ground pounder.

I understand about being disabled. I've been limited to what I can do for 11 years now myself.

There are also guys here on the board who have served and are still serving. Like Pete said, where are you located?

I'm in Page, AZ on the Utah border at Lake Powell. No worries this time, but I will sure keep this in mind for the future. Anyone out there from Southern Utah/Northern AZ?
