i went out today for a bit on my way home i give my car a bit of boot and i poped to my mates when i stoped it was smokeing (blue) it has never done it before so i drove it home and it got worse so i have the turbo off i also took the head off to see how the head gasket is as i want to put a good one on anyway the piston and bores are real good.
as for the turbo when i took it off i blew down the oil way and i bunged up the return and i can here it leeking am thinking its not supposed to do that can anyone tell me how to check the turbo?
here are some pic you cac just see the oil in the turbo

fooked turbo:
in and out play, side - side play, it may have minimal side to side play, thats ok but lots ='s fooked
also if their is some oil on the inlet side or oil in boost hoses you've generally got a problem

would have tried a compression test myself before the head was off as regrdless how good the bores look could have a cracked ring or piston or something thich may have shown up in a test
