Thanks for that...

Car owner not car savy, I'm the friend that knows cars. I'm info I got over the phone she got from dealer(I know, "stealer") and how she says it's driving.

no acceleration, and LOTS of smoke... dealer said dead turbo

Best I know at this point.

I sourced a used turbo from another forum that I'm trying to put a deal together on to get it here.

The owner has a friend that will do the swap for her who is a diesel mechanic so he should be full well versed in turbo's at the very least.

fingers crossed for this to work.

the forums have been a great help to get this sorted as I know nothing about the PT cruiser she's got.

Thanks to everyone that has posted.

Please also continue any info on the swap that may be important as I can print it to hand off to the mechanic doing this for her...

BIG THANKS AGAIN for all the help
