Oh yeah duh… parts motor
Sucks to read all of this. Hopefully the parts motor has what’s needed to fix it easily.
If it turns out the turbo was oil starved, as Ben suggested, is there any way to fit a dedicated oil pressure gauge/idiot light to the replacement supply line?
Well. Had a lot of fun in San Diego at Weston’s wedding!! We even got Cole to dress up
didn’t stop him from sporting his KCW in Disneyland the prior day 🙂
Since the vanagon didn’t work out for our Baja trip, we decided to tag along with the Bradburn family to Australia. We will figure out the vanagon when we get home. Happy holidays everybody!!
baywindows are the shit, fuck you.
Hey Cole, if you guys end up in Melbourne let me know, happy to buy you all a beer at my local!
We will be in Sydney and then Gold Coast and Brisbane! Bummer. I will have to make it to Melbourne on another trip. Thanks for the invite!
Can’t believe the shitty luck with this. I guess at least you’ll get to go on a family trip 👍🏻
Looking good crew! Gavin gets the award for best shoes. 🙂
Looks like smiles all around!!!!! 😎 😎 Congrats!!!
Bummer you guys didn’t get to make it to J-Tree… We’ll have to plan something for another time!
Yes! I’m sure we will be back down that way soon. We have to get revenge and take the vanagon on a Baja trip
So I know a day back at KCW this will answer all questions.. but think it just broke the shaft inside the turbo? Between the hot and cold side? Just hope nothing went into the intake side of the motor.
Cole, are you driving or flying Sydney to Gold Coast?

Test Pilot @ Submarine AirwaysWe don’t know yet. I’m looking for a rental car to fit all 7 of us. If I can find one we will drive. If not we will fly
Still in Vegas?
I think this beast is at Greg’s place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Any updates? Greg who?
Funny you should ask. Greg is the guy who sold us the engine and swap parts boxeer.com @crepeattack
He was doing some work on the van today…..and seized the second turbo due to oil starvation.
