Well its turns out its not the turbo thats smoking, its got a broken ring or 2.
I think its been ran dry of oil and been rather hot because it has a death rattle when she fires from cold.
Only for about 5 secs at most but its there so im pulling the engine out this week in between work.
Also found a couple areas that need welding so im gonna pull the interior out and go through the whole car to make sure its sound enough.

Already located a genuine grey turbo dashboard to replace the one that someone has hacked up to wedge a boost boost gauge in
Will be posting pics up this coming week as I pull her to bits.
Thanks for looking guys
