Turbo is coming out

Rideordier1 · May 4, 2015

So I had my ca ideling in the garage tuning it and seen a little smoke coming out the back. I stepped on the gas a lil and poof big cloud of grayish blue smoke comes out the back. I've run a compression test and I figure it's the turbo that has blown. Has a few millimeters shaft play. It's a 92 tsi with a 16g turbo if there is anything helpful you guys can think of just let me know

Stay away from eBay/china turbos. Select you goals and go from there.

Assuming there's no wheel damage, someone locally should be able to service it for you.

Thanks guys I took it to cherry turbo in st Thomas and he told me the turbo is in perfect working order .... I might hAve jumped the gun on that one. So by process of elimination I'm banking on the smoke coming from valve seals yayyy haha

Or improper crank case ventilation

I'm going to change the pcv valve out first and my other vent on the top isn't hooked up to anything think that could be pressurizing the crank case?

Hook it to the intake pipe if you can, with a catch can

Do that leak down test!

If the smoke seems to "load up" at idle, then clear out when you step on the gas (after the initial cloud), that's usually a sign of valve stem seals gone bad. If you need to change your t-belt and water pump, do them all at the same time and save yourself from having to do it twice.
