Default Smokey back end under boost

Alright guys and gals.

I've noticed that when I go on boost I'm chucking loads of smoke out the back of my RB5
I think it's my turbo? What do you think?

Can you get a repair kit for a VF34?

Cheers Daz

No you can't repair vf turbos AFAIK.

Usually when turbos go they are worse when lifting off. Check your intercooler and pipework for oil and check your engine oil level
