Was going the motorway today noticed alot of blue smoke then a puff of white smoke an lost power has my turbo just blew?
Also the oil feed pipe on the top is twisted and doesnt look right?
worst thing was i was on my way to sell the car,oops
where best for a new one or should i get it rebuilt.
Cheapest options please

 

If the oil feed pipe is twisted, that certainly won't help, infact it was probably the sole cause.

 

yep thats what i thought so not enough oil gettin to the turbo is that right? havent a clue bout turbos. have a receipt from when i bought the car and it had a brand new turbo charger in 2004 and its only done 15000 miles or so.

 

A turbo will blow in 50 miles with no oil supply, so the mileage it's done is irrelevant.

 

Shame its took me till now to notice the pipe must have been like that when i bought it never done any work anywhere near the turbo.

 

seen a few new turbos on ebay there t3 from america but not garrett any1 used one? any good?

 

Just get a stardard garrett t3.

 

wheres best for price this car is to be sold so cheaper the better. or is it cheaper to have mine rebuilt?

 

if your keeping the car then buy a good quality rebuilt or new unit.
if your gonna sell the car then just buy a second one from someone who is breakin there car. have a look in the parts section.just ask to give a gurantee it works 100%.

 

this one going as its a cabrio. fancy a proper one tintop. cheers i'll put a wanted up.
