Can anyone advise me on a problem intermittantly on start up i get a bluey/grey smoke for about 10-15 seconds then it goes i've got no miss firing or strange noises but recently i have been getting blue smoke on high boost i.e pulling from 60mph up and on hard acceleration

I have changed the turbo as the old one was worn and nearly shot could it be the wrong oil being used i'm using 10w 40 magnatec semi-synthetic could this be the problem or a breather blocked if so ow do i ceck the breathers

anyone help!!!

cheers

sounds like seals are starting to go in turbo

 

Yep seals are going. Been at subaru all morning with the same proplem. Was first told on here it was the piston/pistons. Nearly had a heart attack.
Are you getting alot of oil out you dump valve

 

No mate i'm getting no other problems the turbo is only 1year old i changed it last year no oil out of d/valve or anywhere thats why i'm thinking im using the wrong oil i just been told and read up on the oil i'm using and its semi synthetic not fully synthetic this could be the problem its burning it(hopefully) just gone and got f/synthetic oil for a change v/soon

 

What grade oil mate
