Turbo went yesturday. Giving it some beans down the bypass throws out shit loads of smoke on tick over is it still drivable need to get it from my house to garage 2day to put it away for the winter I would say the jurney is about 5mile max

I would have it recovered/towed to be safe, longer its running the more potential for filling intercooler with oil etc, a bored copper will probably stop you too if they se it smoking its nads off

Mats1985

Managed to get it to my garage no probs on tickover smokes like fuck pulled up checked everything an white smoke from air filter and from cap the oil in the cap is milky and white smoke from dipstick area

that would be a head gasket issue rather than turbo mate

Mats1985

Yeah my bro and a m8 said that cheaper to fix I supose the headgasket ain't been on for long something to do while the winter is here

mk1trb

did you have the head skimmed when it was done?

Mats1985

Yeah and pressure tested I would say its been on 2-3 months but iv hardly done any miles in it

Incorrectly tuned or a problem with your fuelling, would have caused this.

Mats1985

Yeah he did a gr8 job came out wiv 20bhp more than when it went in and a shit load more torque completly different car to drive after sorted all the probs out

My brother has had a look and says the pistons are soaking in fuel and the smoke smells more of fuel than anything else but for some reason 1 piston is a lot dryer than the others he also says the plugs look bit worse for wear so guna get a new set and go from there
