Hey all, recently bought a lovely r5 gt turbo but seems the turbo is fubar . Started with the occasional puff of white smoke at idle now is seeping oil from the intake and outlet.
Is there anyone around London/Essex who can do a rebuild? I'm sure it's just the seals. Funny though there is no play in any of the shafts neither in or out or side to side.
Cheers

Give blunty a pm, he knows a bloke from Dagenham area, Bernie I think his name is. Sorted my T25 out with no drama. But haven't got his number now.
