Well the gsx is going back to the shop today. On my way to an interview i was crusin down 35E and i started to hear a faint knock... by the time i reached 42 it had developed to a hard knock. i pulled over and opened the hood with the car running and still knocking and it sounded like it was right under the valve cover, like it was metal on metal. The knocking gets louder and faster as the RPMs rise. Im still boosting fine. I just had the turbo replaced, new timing belt, gaskets and the oil level is fine.
It is barely drivable and im not making very much power.
Any ideas?
Tom
