Pep Boys told me it was the turbo?
hey... i work at pepboys... i also run an evo shop... i can't say for certain that their diagnosis stands but the guy who would have looked at the car would be ase certified or a very experienced technician... or at least in el paso...
if he said they turbo is ****ed its probably is... even if its not the reason you brought it in..
that being said dont take your car to pepboys because they are expensive as ****...

I think you have to take the wheels off to work on the brakes...
It's not that its pep boys and they're mutts, but it's a relatively rare and complicated car that not many shops other than the dealership see often or have a lot of experience with. I have performance shops do my services.
The pep boys near me has go-karts for sale in the front window.

First of all....a half retarded monkey can get an ASE certification online and that doesn't mean crap! That's as bad as saying I work at McDonald's were we serve gourmet meals. All those chain stores are a joke. At least at a mom and pop shop they won't say they are ASE certified. And secondly, joseph143, please get a new job or sell your evo to make the rest of the evo owners feel better.

You cant get ase certified over the internet... But good job... Also if you're man enough call up prometric and take a test... I suggest L1... I'll put some good money on it you wont pass any of the main auto test, A1-9, I have 8 myself... A1, and A3-8, also L1... No point in having A2 since i dont deal with automatics...

Correction yes you can. You may not be able to take every test online and I'm so scared of your picture
......you still work at pepboys lol 
You ain't lying**** isn't worth the paper it is written on. Thought about getting it a while back and I never bothered. Went into the Healthcare industry instead.
ASE Cert Tech=We plugged it in and it didn't tell us anything so....

I had my 06 sti towed to pepboys. They changed the clutch. Now I have white smoke coming from my tyranny. They charged me 3,110 for a effing clutch replacement but now my cars ****ed. Contacted corporate they're idiots to. Told me to take it back to the pepboys so they can fix it. NOW THEY'RE TELLING ME MY EFFING TURBO IS THE PROBLEM AND THEY DON'T WORK ON TURBOS?!! UMMM...I SHOULD ADD THAT THEY DIDN'T PUT ANY EFFING GEAR OIL IN MY CAR WHEN THEY CHANGED THE CLUTCH AND FLYWHEEL. THEY DON'T KNOW ABSOLUTE ****!! I TOLD THEM WHY DIDN'T THEY PUT GEAR OIL IN MY CAR THEY SAID THEY DID IT WAS BOOKED ****ING DRY WHEN I PICKED IT UP. AND ON TOP OF THAT I'M GOING THROUGH A FULL GEAR OIL EVERY TWO WEEKS. IN ABOUT TO ****ING FLIP TF OUT!!
