If your any good with the old tools strip your turbo down and see if its salvagable, if it is you can get rebuild kits..........

no such thing mate

Disconnect the oil feed to the turbo and block the pipe and see if it smokes then (DON'T drive the car though)

If you disconnect the oil feed and it stops smoking then you are proving the seals are gone in the turbo. You need to let it get hot though as its going to need to burn off the oil in the exhaust before you can achieve an answer.

If it continues to smoke with no oil feed to the turbo then its not the turbo.

And once again......just incase you missed it last time, FOR GODS SAKE DONT TRY AND DRIVE IT with the oil feed blocked.

Nah you will be alright, the turbo does still spin at idle but only a few RPM, it will be fine at idle.

Do that for now and see how u get on.

Done a few. Not difficult to do with the right tools. Need heat sometimes to get the bolts out though and a nice clean place to do it.

You wouldnt happen to have any instructions on how to do it and a reputable company to get the kit of as ive been considering this option but as i can see u can buy basic kits and full kits, 1 american company says u need diffrent seal so need the right specifications.
appologizes 4 all the questions better safe than sorry

Your turbo won't necessarily be salvageable, you can't rely on a rebuild kit until you have stripped it down.
