see post above yours and add to cool it down for a min or two after driving before you shut it off to let cool oil flow through the turbo.Originally Posted by hadouken
also when you get it, I suggest a full tuneup, new spark plugs, oil change, belts, transmission and diff oil, flush the coolant system, just the usual with any car. Check the brake pads. It may cost a bit for the whole tune-up, but you have to realize you have no way of knowing when that stuff was last done, and you'll only have to do all of it at once, well, just once, then you can change over to servicing one thing at a time. Also, when you change the plugs, keep the old set in the glove box with a sparkplug socket so that you can put them back in if you ever flood the car and soak the plugs in gasoline, then you can pull over, put the old ones back in, drive it home, then put the newer ones back in after drying them and the old ones go back in the glove box.
On your test drive of the car, try and pay close attention to what the vehicle does under WOT @ 3800 RPM, if it hesitates, you'll need to pull the injectors and have them professionally cleaned (3800 RPM is when the car's secondary injectors kick in to keep up with the airflow at higher RPM).
