Yo Guys
right, my car has been off the road since beginning of October, I bought the car with the knowledge that the turbo had blown or that may not be the case.
When I first got the car it would idle and rev up fine on the spot though it was running probably about 1.2 bar though after a blast on boost it would put out huge amounts of smoke which suggested a blown turbo, after driving the car for nearly a week it escalated into mega smoke off boost also so I knew it was curtains for the engine.
My engine is nearly rebuilt now and the lands on two of the pistons were crumbled to nothingness, so the question is, was it the piston lands from the beginning and the turbo is ok or was the turbo shagged and it was my terrible luck that i knackered the engine in less than a week??
the turbo has pretty much zero play in the shaft and someone with more piston land melting experience will know this!!
kind regards
