P1 turbo
HI guys!
I'm pretty sure i blew my turbo last weekend. I was out giving her a blast when i suddenly noticed the boost was running really high! next i started to lose power and stange noise was coming from the "turbo area" when she unloaded. i managed to limp so far home before it seemed to loose power completely ( f~~~ me was it slow!) i stopped checked over the engine to find what i think is the oil feed pipe to the turbo broke. I 've fixed it but its now blowing out smoke like a **** through the exhaust. The engine seems to run fine-ish if not choking ever so slightly.
1. does any body concur on me blowing the turbo?
2. If it is blown is it worth getting a bigger turbo for it or just sticking to a standard one? What should i fit?
Cheers

Prior to your oil feed braking and the sudden increase in boost im afraid i couldn't coment on, but with no oil feeding the turbo bearings, id say that these are fcuked and will need replacing.
Also depending on how far your drove with oil leaking from the feed, you may have run the engine completely out of oil screwing the big ends - and other things at the same time.
Give david a call at api, he'll know what damage you've caused and what it will cost to repair.
