d rangd Member 341 Member For: 16y 2m 2d Posted 25/05/10 07:11 AM Author Share Posted 25/05/10 07:11 AM its fine on idle and driving around, but kent said once up to temperature and reving its very smoky, like the seal is gone. so we just have to find out if the feeds clean, and the oil isnt coming from anywhere else like the rings or valve stems...but if the turbo is broken, hopefully its just seals, ill get a new gtx turbo and fix and sell this one...wait and see but this is doing my head in. been disappointment after disappointment that's all this cars been giving me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking for a performance shop, and in this case I found a shop where you PAY to have your car DESTROYED :-D well turbo is not f*cked, BUT, there was a sh*tload of oil in the exhaust...how would this happen? I can only think that it had the wrong restrictor valve in the oil feed and too much oil was being forced into the bearings so it pushed past the seals into the exhaust??? ORRR someone at some point has poured oil into the exhaust, but I dont want to start thinking someone has done something like that...how would oil get into the exhaust, taking into account the engine is fine, and the turbo is fine...its all cleared out now and the car is running good. pickup tomorrow hopefully...but ill have to get the exhaust taken off and cleaned now ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
