Picked up my car today. Drove fine for 100 miles. Love the vehicle!!
Then the car was going 75, no issues....then it wouldn't go past 60, and I pull over and hear this terrible clanking noise, serpentine belt is fine....and now car dies as soon as I put into drive??

It was running fine allday. Was cruising and just wouldn't go past 60, then I heard something that sounded like screws in a blender

Yup take it back. There has to be some sort of warranty

Ever drive a car that is well known across the forum for serious turbo failures?

im guessing i just did?

this sucks, i love the car...

i know cars pretty good, but this is the first turbo car ive ever owned, ive put turbos on a few cars, but they were hondas, and the engine was 100 times easier to work on. i have it a car place my in laws have used for years, if they cant fix it, its getting towed to subaru

Your local guy should be able to handle the engine rebuild if you can't.

I used to be a Honda guy too. These are easy to work on once you learn how.

Here's my rebuild thread, it may help give you a idea what your in for.

My turbo didn't blow, I replaced it at 142,000 miles when it whistled under boost. Did the short block at 154,000 miles because of oil usage.

I see your other post, take it back to the place you got it from.
