Big thanks to zedworld for sorting me out with a fresh engine :clap::clap:

 

also for sorting the boost leak out I didn't even know about and sussing that my ecu chip was too lean which am guessing led to my dead engine.

 

Only problem I have now is the exhaust is smoking when I back off the throttle which I'm guessing worn turbo seals, can't seem to see any when it's on boost so don't think it could be pcv valves?(got my fingers crossed though!) it was fine before the engine died but don't think the old engine made enough oil pressure to get the oil past the seals. Jeff mentioned there was oil in the pipework but surely this should have cleared up after a 200mile drive home? Also after re-setting my boost controller to just under one bar the problem seemed to get worse, it doesn't smoke when driving normally but as soon as you give it a bit shoe and back off there's a blue mist

Just warmed the car up and rev'd it hard enough to boost and there was a puff of smoke, could this mean just a sticky PVC valve?

Still could be the oil that was down your exhaust and elswhere from the previous engine failure, there was an awful lot in the boost pipes and plenum as well, also as a side note revving the engine when stationary hard enough to get boost is not a good idea, seen this at shows sometimes when guys are showing off their dump valves, early engine demise can result from high revving without engine load.

 

Cheers matey, good to meet you and your "crew" yesterday.

Cheers jeff al give it a week or so to see if it sorts itself out, and the 'crew' were just there because we had various things to drop off and collect so was cheaper to do it all in one day :lol:

If it had been with anybody annoying they would have been left somewhere down south! :lol: felt sorry for the lad riding the ninja back though a bet his back is suffering today! :lol: was good to meet you and your "crew" too :lol: made us feel alot more welcome than the rest of the people that day that's for sure, you would have thought they were thinking we were there to rob them or something!
