This is being sent for a friend of mine. Please call her yourself,
if you can (Emailing your answer to me will delay it since she and I
are not in close contact).

======================================================================

A heater hose recently blew on my 1986 Chrysler New Yorker that led to
the engine's overheating. I patched the heater hose with duct tape,
refilled the reservoirs and allowed the engine to cool before
proceeding.

In route to replacing the heater hose the following evening, a gasket
blew on the turbo, spewing forth a great deal of burnt turbo oil smoke
from the exhaust pipe --- the turbo still sounds as if it is spinning
correctly.

I would be greatly appreciative if a mechanic or other experienced
person would contact me and inform me on how to remove the turbo and
mechanically retrofit the engine to run without the turbo. A mechanic
suggested retrofitting and driving the car for a shakedown duration in
order to determine whether the engine or car is still salvageable.

Here are the car's specifications:

1986 Chrysler New Yorker
77K miles (53K in the last two years).
Power everything.
In excellent condition.
