I recently bought a t25, which had been rebuilt before I bought it, it had done 500 miles and the seals gone, sometimes they get rebuilt sh*t.. Iv put my t2 back on and I can't smell burning oil anymore it stunk wen I was driving.. Can you see any smoke coming off the turbo while it's ticking over?
