  fxxk them ! car turbo charge can't repair, if they do repair, the problems is going to recur. Replace a new one man. The tolerance of the shaft to the bush is so precise and critical. I have messed around many kind of turbo in the late 70s and early 80s so i know. Turbo for other like marine, and crafts usually repair as it is big and expensive. Don't be cheapo on car.

  The automobile turbo is driven by your Engine Exhaust air and in turn push more Inlet Air into the combustion chamber. If your turbo seize , then very jialat liao....very dangerous man as sometime if you want to make a quick filter into lanes....haha.ha.

  Just like our CNG gas valve fxxking problem....Sometime engine stop during idling to kick in.  What can we do?  KPKB la to the taxi company.....

  Any good tips for a newbie taxi driver (comfort) which I'm going to drive soon (next week).

  Wad tips u wan?

  Seriously speaking, not much tips except the advice of intense driving for the first 1-3months or so. After that u become old bird and easier.

  Buy GPS or get the latest Street Directory and always refer to it when in doubt.

  When new, dun be afraid to tell ur customer that you are unfamiliar with routes. Most of the pple are nice and understanding. Worst come to worst, just tell them nicely to move to the cab behind if they not happy with a newbie.

  As you drive, remember all the position of Taxi Stands, especially those with long queue of taxi. Remember, if got no pax taxi wun go there.

  Finally, be patient and dun give up. There are tons of money to earn, it is how you gonna earn it. Bear in mind that there are good days and bad days. If bad day comes, dun take it too hard, try next day.

  When you are queing in a taxi queue. Quickly take out ur street directory and study the surrounding area.

  Remember all famous hotels in town (and Grand Mecure Roxy in Marine Parade). You will come across them very frequently.

  If got back door, must learn too. Like the Lavender 81, pax like to enter from behind, not from the front gate. Kovan 81 also got back door. Nobody likes to be seen getting off taxis in front of budget hotels, somemore with a chiobu. 

  St Regis, Ritz-Carlton, Shangri-la different lah. Got class. Get off from there means you rich.

  The thing is , I dun like to pick that kind of crowd..........so I dun bother to remember them. If ever I pick up, I drop them and forget abt it.
