I have behine getting a puff of blue smoke on high rev gear changes and sometimes deacelerating i asume this is my turbo dieing?:sad:
I have done a search and thats whats lead me to belive its the blower or could it be something else?
I have done a compression test and thats all fine and the engine is only just run in on forged pistons so it could not be that could it?
I am only asking as i am parinoid that i am killing another motor:oops: but what i am explaining is 90%sure to be the turbo dieing is it not?
Thanks for any help

Problem solved!!The smoke got worse and worse within the next 10 miles i drove it and after fears i had killed another piston i checked the turbo and the amount of play in it was no joke the compresser wheel was touching the houseing:shock:
I did not know a turbo could die so quick it was old but it started to smoke a little and 10-20 miles later it was smoking big style i will have to cheak the oil lines and make sure it was not starved of oil or something:?
Anyway new turbo time methinks:roll: Oh and thanks for the replys;-)
