Default Re: smoke question??????

oil inside the downpipe means that you blew the turbo's center section shaft seal (turbine side). Also, check the compressor outlet pipe. If you see oil in there, it's an indication the the compressor side haft seal has also failed. Either way, that turbo now needs to be rebuilt......
