So let's rewind it back I bought the car a few months back with a slight oil leak on the drivers side turbo , it smoked a little on idle but still drove fine and didn't take much oil fast forward a few months and I think it's now shotting out a lot more oil , the problem started today I went to pick my brother up about 8 miles away and at the traffic lights, I start to see blue smoke coming up out And over the top of the bonnet ( always a good sign ) also the exhaust was shotting it out , first thing I looked at was all my levels ... Fine , wasn't overheating so I popped the bonnet and I'm seeing the smoke coming from the top left of the engine bay ... Turbo , I turned the car off for a bit and left it 5 minutes , started her up again and saw blue smoke coming from the drivers side exhaust ,left it a further 30mins and with no tow i had to drive it back I didn't go over 2k and it wasn't bellowing smoke out of the bonnet like before but was a little out the exhaust. my idea is that the oil seal is now shot and it's releasing oil onto the turbo which is burning it off aswell as sucking through , I was saving for new turbos but was expecting to replace them in February , just wanna know a rough cost for replacing the two turbos , fitting etc engine lift from someone who's already done it

Thanks in advance

Your probably looking around a grand in labour from a garage, up your end of the country zedworld is probably closest. Make sure you use a zed specialist, joe mechanic or billy jap car specialist will take longer and charge you more, as well as using your car as a test subject learning as they go. Most likely cocking it up in the process.

The cost of the turbos, professional rebuilds are going to set you back about £400 a side, or you can buy brand new cores from the states for not much more, a slight upgrade to gt525 turbos is a smart move and very cost sensible.

With the gt525s will they go in without changing engine components I was going to upgrades the smics when the turbos went in

You would need a remap, as long as the engine is healthy no reason why not, they're not much bigger than stock.

Engine had a rebuild about 5000 miles back he just didn't replace the turbos, will bear this in mind
