Hey guys,

Driving down the freeway and the i look out the rear view mirror.....im driving the batmobile! so much smoke out the exhaust its not funny! I pull over and car is running fine, only a little smoke on idle. so i turn around to drive hoime. Still heaps of smoke so i pull over after 2 mins driving. THERE IS ABOUT 2 LITRES OF OIL ON MY DIFF! ( I have dumped my 3" exhaust just before the diff)

So I have called a few people and all say it COULD be a blown seal.

Any comments, related experiences?

Is my motor f*&cked?

all say need a new core on my turbo, (billet aluminium) $1250

Any info appreciated!!!

Cheers guys
 
provided the compressor wheel isn't broken, engine should be ok.

theres a thread on a upgraded turbo for them. might worth doing if your up for a new turbo.
 
Ta mate. Wheel is spinning freely and no cracks or excess oil. looks like a new snail shoud d the trick
 
cant remeber what i paid for mine when it blew the seal but i upgraded to a garrett gt2554 ball bearing turb..good power holds boost through gears, roughly $2k
