Is this serious??

 

I have a mongoose exhaust with de-cat pipes fitted and I’ve had the centre baffles removed due to collapse, since they have been removed I am getting alot of black smoke (smells like fresh oil )pouring out when warm at tickover. When driving the smoke disappears, but I have noticed my turbo's whistling and getting increasing louder. WTF is this serious and what is the most cost effective way of rectifying this problem

Sound like turbo seals have blown. Usually due to De-Catting the exhaust. The increased pressure causes the seals to leak. If its smoking at idle it sounds like a bad case.

If I continue to drive it as is, will my turbo's come to any harm.

Also ive removed the air pipes connecting to the turbo's and have run my finger inside them both to check for oil present , all was clear...Is this crap diagnosis??,

If the seals were gone shouldnt the oil leak on both sides of the turbine??
