Turbos seals gone or worse? I had the exhausts done, was on the way home and i just had a huge amount of smoke trail, it looked like i was on the dirt road, at traffic lights i couldn't see the car behind or anything.

 

Can someone please suggest what it is?

 

Thanks for looking

 

*Edit: Smoke is extremely bad out of the left one, and a tiny bit on the right one

Personally wouldn't get used turbos. Such an unknown. Murt thought his turbos were good before he changed the exhaust. The same thing could happen again quite easily if he put some supposed good turbos on, with the pressure drop of this new exhaust, there's a high percentage it'll happen again.

Just have them rebuilt, and do it asap before you do anymore damage to them.

Poor young murty murt:(hope you sort it mate;)

Best we can do murt is pull the offending turbo off and fit a second hand one for you to run around on whilst we get yours reconditioned if you want ?

 

We have plenty of second hand tubs and its the side that only takes a couple of hours to do so its not all bad !;)

wow thats a result. some good news then :D

cannot afford rebuild :'(

 

The refurb kit for the tubs is about £80 iirc,

 

you could get some second hand tubs, two refurb kits. Referb the tubs and put them on yours, then referb your tubs once your cars up and running and sell them as recon tubs for more £££ ??

 

So just the cost of pulling the engine and changing the tubs if your able to service the tubs yourself?

This is more likely to have been caused by changing old oil to a new thinner Synthetic oil.

 

What oil have you put in the car?

it was a 10w oil that went in as i haves used 5w or 0w before which i felt would be too thin. the oil went in a day before and no smoke.

So you want to take the engine out and replace the tubs temp while i get mine sent off referb'd? Or just take the turbo off with the engine in and replace the tub with a temp one?

 

If you take the engine out i do not really see a point in you taking the engine out putting temp turbos on the car, putting the engine back in and then coming back down in a weeks times to take the engine out agian to put on my referbed turbos.

 

I just do not know what to do, im extremely upset that this has happened to my car and really have to get the car repaired or just get rid of it and leave the zed scene :cry: . I will try and phone you tomorrow.

The oil change was fine, it has nothing to do with the turbos smoking, i did alot of mileage and the white smoke only started to appear once the exhausts were fitted etc.

 

I might just repair the turbos, but im sure that once they are repaired something else will go on the car, if at that point it does, she will be sold

Murt, he means replace with engine in, the passenger side is ok to get to (a few hours work for Paul), if it was the other side you would have to pull engine out.

 

In theory a known good used turbo could last you a long time still.

If i do just replace the turbo with a used one, i wonder if it will last.

 

When i come down the garage on tuesday, i did 115 miles on £30 :| that just proves i wasn't using the turbos lol :)
