Message My wife and I were "snowbirds" for eight years. The car would sit in the garage all summer without being used. On the eighth year, I came back to the house and the car smoked badly. It was diagnosed as deteriorated seals on the turbos. I replaced them with JWC Sport 500's. Now, about eight years later, one of the turbos started leaking a bit of oil so I am having them rebuilt. While the motor was out it was noted that other seals were very dry so I am having them replaced along with the wiring harness. It is my desire to keep the car in pristine shape - but that is getting quite expensive!
