Here we go, went to town shopping for about a hour started car and pulled out and the turbo was not working. Now no oil use, smoke nothing just quit. Plus having a hard time finding out where the turbo is and how to replace. Thank you, Mike

Hello,

Yes, when the turbos go out they can cause problems. When you are removing the turbo please check the end play of the turbo shaft if it is excessive the turbo is bad. Here is a guide to give you an idea of what you are in for when doing the job along with the diagrams (below) on how to fix your car:
