🚗I bought a Porsche Cayman at auction and discovered it had a turbo kit.
💨The car had a smoking issue, which led me to investigate the turbocharger.
🔧I rebuilt the turbo and fixed the smoking problem.
🚩The car now drives great, but there's a new issue with a misfire.
✅I recommend doing your own oil changes to ensure proper maintenance.
Why did you choose to rebuild the turbo instead of replacing it?
—Rebuilding the turbo was more cost-effective and allowed me to learn more about the car's internals.
How long did it take to rebuild the turbo?
—The turbo rebuild process took around 30 minutes, and it was relatively straightforward.
Did the smoking issue get completely resolved?
—Yes, after the turbo was rebuilt, the smoking issue was resolved and the car no longer emits smoke.
Why is there a misfire issue now?
—The flashing check engine light indicates an active misfire, and I will need to investigate and diagnose the issue further.
Do you recommend doing your own oil changes?
—Yes, doing your own oil changes can save you money and give you the satisfaction of knowing the job was done right.
