[quote][i]Originally posted by WATSON[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by --ToM--[/i] Run it like that with the boost pipes off mate see if it smokes without the turbo connected Take the air filter side of the turbo off and look for oil down there, play the shaft see if it's got much movement, remove exhaust downpipe and look at that side of the turbo for oil, if there's oil in either of them areas turbo failure is likely were you running s restrictor bolt in your turbo feed pipe? If engine smokes constantly normally piston rings If it smokes on boost and over run normally turbo Smokes on start up or when pulling away from being on idle eg from s set of lights normally stem seals which is common in these That's just rule of thumb though [/quote] There's next to no smoke coming from car unless from cold, There is slight smoke coming on boost when pulling away apart from that nothing. I haven't and don't fancy giving it full beans in case more damage is caused :lol: Stem seals have recently been done so rules that one out, Surely with the large amount of oil in the IC pipework it would be turbo? I have noticed on the turbo side IC pipework there is quite a large amount of oil seeping out the pipework attached to the turbo. I've taking air filter pipework off and there's little to no oil (slightly wet) can't check shaft movement because the VXR turbo has a sweeping up pipe so makes checking shaft movement difficult Cheers for the help/information :thumbs: [/quote]
