ya, this guy near me (a really nice kid, BTW) Wrecked his FD in a nearly fatal accident. I believe the motor was nearly new at the time of the wreck, probably hasn't been turned in over a year, though. the turbo looks clean too, very little shaft play, IIRC...

How much gas did you have? You didn't suck air did you?
