Would rather the above then the headgasket tbh so now on the lookout for a cheep turbo that isn't smoking.
no worries mate.
i'm 99% sure it's the turbo, looked over everything, car runs sweet, juet smoke on idle after hot. Undid turbo best i could without having a full stripdown & no oil in manifold side but wet in elbow... Points to turbo, plus the comp wheel didn't spin all the time on it's own, was getting stuck. Also did a comp test & 1-3 were around 140 with 4 being a little lower @ 125-130 but the comp tester wouldn't bite in the port so i think it was leaking a bit tbh.
Sorry for the typo's on my phone in maccy d's..
Re: pop goes the engine ;-(

Re: pop goes the engine ;-(
5teave knows better then me some form of t28 hybrid,think I heard him say something about 43 rear compressor maybe its all gobbidy goop to me lol.
Re: pop goes the engine ;-(
Yeah T28, looked like a .49 rear, not sure about the front, looked T3 based.
TBH the car doesn't need alot but it would take a bit of cash to sort out 100% for a daily & if you need a run around then you don't have a choice.
