it's supercharged, he only has 1 post.
the dealer likely told him it was turbo'd, if it was actually a turbo setup he should have stated he did a custom turbo install on it, which voided his warranty

oo sorry, you should have stated that

thats a tough one, warranty is obviously void, im REALLY suprised a dealer even bought and then sold this car...

if 2nd gear is grinding, could be the syncro, try cracking the tranny open and see whats grinding - i hope this isnt a DD b/c your trans may be going
