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

 

Hi there mate you will get alot of smoke from the oil it will need to burn off but if you do need a turbo i know somebody that has just upgraded his turbo on his p1 so he has his standard one available PM if required.

cheers matt

hmm amazing just spoke to a bloke the other day who had a mate who had just uprated his turbo on a p1 and had one spare? just out of interest how much does he want for it? i'm really looking at uprating the turbo but if its cheap enough might just wait!
