First four or five people that can guess correctly on what's wrong with my car and give me some input on some things, I'll give $5 each. Background: My car has an exremely loud whine kinda by the exhaust. It still does it while the car is stopped and in neutral meaning it can't be anything drive train. While it whines it spits out a black liquid from the exhaust but not until it starts to whine.
1. What is it that is making my car whine and spit out black liquid while it whines?
2. When I went to the track a greyish smoke was coming out of my exhaust when I ran (supposibly at take off and when I got further down the track, what does that mean, blown head gasket?, could that in some way be part of my exhaust spitting the black liquid?
3. When I went to the track, I also destroyed the clutch, does anyone know if the Fidanza 3.2 Clutch Kit is a good clutch or not?

It sounds like you could of killed your turbo and it's leaking oil, that would explain the greyish smoke as well.
Killed my turbo, are you serious?? There hasn't been a SINGLE day that I have not given it AT LEAST four minutes to warm up and no matter what i give it at least a minute to cool down...anyone else wanna take a guess for some money?? lol
Blown turbo. You can only hear like you said only while the car is stopped and in neutral, cause the car too loud to hear it when the car is moving.
Are there any other signs of blown turbo?? I am still boosting to just under 1.5 bar.. I'm not sure what that is in psi, but i think my car was tuned at 23/24...So would that be considerded me losing boost(effed turbo)?? Wow, that really p***es me off.. I do everything I'm supposed to to keep that turbo in tact and it burns out on me in 8000 miles
I guess it's a good thing I was going green in a month or so anyway. Is a car still drivable with a effed turbo or is that going to tear my motor up?

if your turbo going bad you would hear grinding sound something like hummer drill. having leak like u have if your gasket blown out most likely you would see and hear the leak while inspecting it, even then don’t think you would loose all the pressure… first I would check for any leaks, not just inspecting vacuum hose, but check for leaks using compressor.
once again sound of dying turbo will scare the hell out of u.

Yeah I am on the stock turbo and at 7000rpm I am not sure what I'm boosting. I havn't heard any sounds that have scared the hell out of me or any grinding, just some extremely annoying whining. So are you saying that I do or don't have a blown turbo. I would take it off and check for shaft play, but in short I don't have the tools/experience to be taking anything off my motor except for the exhaust or intakae

You cant check for shaft play by just taking off the intake. But it sounds like a blown seal in your turbo. As it spins there is air leaking through the seal and causing the whistle. Then the black liquid and grey smoke is the oil coming through your exhaust and burning off.
If I take my car to buschur could they rebuild the turbo, or would I have to get a new one? Which way would be the cheaper/better route to go?

From personal experience, just have a new one put in or a good low mile used turbo. Maybe somethign a bit bigger.
Sometimes a turbo will just let go, maybe a manufacturer defect, maybe it was starved for oil, etc.
There is no need to turbo time a water cooled turbo for 4 minutes, maybe a minute or 2. Water cooling generally prevents the nasty oil burning insde the cartridge by decreasing the time it takes for the turbo to cool down. Something like an oil cooled cartridge may need maybe three minutes after a good thrashing. And by the way, this offering money for help thing is idiotic, people will offer you good advice regardless. If you want to pay for help see a professional mechanic.

Thanks for the advice, sorry you think it's idiotic. I usually only get a post or two of advice.. so I thought I'd entice some people lol

It may be worthless to run it that long, but at least it won't hurt the car, such would be the case if you beat on it then instantly shut her off.
I'd get a twin clutch...

How long have you had this problem? Also do you still have your cat on the exhaust?
I would think if you had this problem for a long time you may have some oil build up in the cat which I think could hurt it, I'm not to sure if i right its just a thought.

What grade and type oil are you using?
