that where to start?? hmmm

ok firstly over the past week or two weeks i started the car everyday and used it as normal, however about 3 times when it started it chuffed out a blue/white bit of smoke, then ran like usual.
I have been having problems with my headers and three days ago they really started blowing like crazy, and along with that has come alot of white/blueish smoke when ever i let the turbo come in and also a big cloud of white smoke out of my front drivers side vent when i change gear...

im also burning alot of oil now too, now what do you all think? is it dead engine time or couldnt it be that the whole in the headers is causing over fueling (which im hopeing is the answer) but then why would i be burning oil??? also after a slow 5 min drive today, town and back i opened the oil cap and white smoke was coming out of it....ekkkkk

comments on a postcard please !!!!

 

Could just be the turbo oil seals.

 

is that expensive, sounds right as i just found loads of oil around me turbo

 

not as expensive as a new engine, what car have you got? it depends on what turbo you have fitted as you can probably get a replacement quite cheap if you dont mind second hand.
you could use this as an oppertunity to upgrade your turbo and put one on that will give you more power (with accompanying mods)
The headers you could also change, a decent set of ported headers would work very well and are not that expensive if you consider the gains that you get from them - speak to Harvey Smith regarding these

 

ive got a 1995 wrx import with a TDO5H

ive already got headers here

 

cool, you could look on Andy Forrests web site for new turbos and good advice, he will do them exchange as well or you can trawl for a second hand one on here or even ebay

 

seen a VF24 Hybrid Turbo.... is this gunna be as powerful as my TD05??

 

If you're using a lot of oil, the first thing to do, is have a compression & leak down test.

This will narrow down the possibilities.

If it isn't the bottom end, it could be the turbo seals, but it could also be the valve stem seals.

OK
