Default Think my turbo has given up...

After constantly bouncing off the limiter, and throwing out flames... Today i drove up to yorkshire and when i came off the mway, car smelt a bit oily and had nice puffs of white smoke leaving the zorst. Doesnt do it on load. To be honest, im suprised it's lasted this long - was only meant to be for running in.

Could be the seals, but i the launch control has split a weld in my back box, so lord knows what it's done to the turbine

Stu - damn right i'd love one of them.... Dont think i can spare the 800quid or so on one at the mo. Will prob just enjoy shattering the 60 trim for now
