Help Turbo's

Hi fellaz, big help needed. I think that my left hand side turbo seals have gone. Does anyone know about this so that I can get it checked out properly. I am in Leeds West Yorkshire.

 

My regular MOT guy told me this, cos the car is starting to smoke a lot, and he says that he can smell oil.

 

Cheerz.

when the turbo seal went on my supra it smoked when

You accelerate hard up to fairly high speeds so rev counter starts to scream, throttle off, then bang down the accelerator again. This would result in a true James Bond style blanket of smoke being emitted.

Yep, I don't mind getting the hoses changed and that, but I need to find someone who can do the job properly.

 

Well Lane Turbo Centre said that you have to take the engine out to get to the turbo's. I'm sure that this can't be true.

 

PS. My car like the supra also leaves a blanket of smoke after reving the car hard. mainly from the left exhaust pipes.
