It's not Corsa related im affraid guys! Rover 220 GSi Turbo related! It smokes slightly on tick over and the same at low revs, doesn't really do it on full throttle, going to have a look at it tomorrow to see if there is oil on inlet side of turbo and exit side..........might just be shit in the system and needs a damn good leathering upto 30mph :lol:

Ummm, sounds intresting! Is it a scrapped turbo if the seals have gone in it then?

seals in turbo gone, letting oil into the air intake, valve stem seals gone, piston rings gone. depends if it smokes when the car comes onto boost or wahtever

When a turbo car gives off blue smoke, it could be the bearing seals which are no longer sealing...........thus causing the blue smoke, one option??

What else could it be apart from piston rings, valve stem seals?

If it is the turbo, does it mean a new turbo or can ya re-con the bearing, fit new ones etc?
