It leaked oil directly onto the exhaust which caught fire. He just shut the car off and watched it burn while waiting for the fire department to show up. It's a shame, it was a 97 SL that he had brought to us. We did a full 6 speed awd conversion along with the turbo engine conversion and all supporting mods for 16T's. All that work done and money spent for nothing.
I could tell from where the fire started and what the rear turbo looked like when I pulled the car apart. I'll post up pictures tomorrow or something.
So many stories about bad LMI turbos yet no action has been taken. Surely he is accountable. Why hasn't someone taken him to court or at least got their money back for these? I don't understand it. Why are you all allowing yourselves to be fucked over?
