ok so heres the deal with my p.o.s s4. lately the car has been getting really hot,not just because its hot as balls here. when it does this it will start to burn copious amounts of oil.
also, is it normal for a urs4 to get that hot even if its just idleing?
a few people have told me i need a new head-gasket, others say vlave seals. i just wanted to know if you guys had any opinion or imput as to what the hell is going on.
thanks.

Turbo seals? If it is burning a lot of oil, you'll most likely end up pulling the head. Which may seem like a huge task, but it's really not.

the turbo was rebuilt 2,000 miles or so ago.
how extensive is it to pull the head.

If you have never done it before, it can be intimidating. If you end up having to go that route, I will write up some diy steps for you.
