Turbo died
Was driving came to a stop went to take off and no power and loud whirring noise. Took it to LeSure motors in Tempe and Jerry was great looked it over and found the turbo shaft had snapped in half still letting the exhaust side spin (whirring noise) but intake side just sat there. Bummer. Car only has 71k and I got it with 68k. Ordered an upgraded 43 mm unit and braided oil lines and hope to be back going again soon. She is still driveable just goes like an anorexic Prius.
