sssssteeeee

just wondered,i got a turbo 2000 if i engage the turbo its kicking in aroung 3000 rpm, but if i drop the gears to put the car to its use it jumps to around 5000 rpm, then i let it go to 7000 rpm b 4 changing gears up. is this safe 7000 rpm??? or am i likely to have a broken engine if i continue,theres 150.000 on the clock. have had a roller bearing break on timming belt thats been sorted and last week coil packs on one side bust alarm broke the wk b 4 and next wk car tax! . hope someone can answer my question . ssssteeee

Hi mate, my old girl is running on 160,000 miles, 2nd gearbox, first engine....7 owners from new.....I found spending good money on good oil does the trick.....if you knew me, you'd know I dont have a featherweight accelerator peddle.......I sometimes am changing gear in mid "rev limiter cutting in" mode....cant be good long term.....but produces massive flames!
