Does it smoke when you hit boost?? Off boost?? If it smoke when you start boosting, its probably the turbo......seals perhapsRich

In my expirience with blown turbos, you should expirience some more symptoms than just smoke. On mine, it would sputter badly when I would cruise with my foot at a constant throttle. Mine also put out a small amount of smoke at idle. Hope that helps...

Yes mine still spooled and all, I had just blown the seals so I was getting oil in my intake charge. Take off your hot pipe to your intercooler and see if there's any oil in it. Then you can see at least where your problem is originating. If there is no oil, your problem is in the motor itself. If there is oil, it's most likely your turbo.

You should not have oil in there. There is no way that the turbo could throw oil in that pipe. I have no idea why there would be oil in there.
