Heres so pics attached, just need some second opinions to what I have a feeling is a blown turbo. Finally got wiring done on car after a long while of sitting and put everything together, started up the car , and when you press the gas theres white smoke coming from the exhaust as well as the exhaust manifold area . As well as a kind of grind noise every like 4 seconds. Found exhaust manifold wet from where it connects to turbo as well as some oil in the turbo , turbo has both in and out and side to side play...

Yeah I would get a new turbo. That impeller blade is beat up pretty bad. Not worth doing a rebuild I dont think. Also depending how long you ran it for and the boost I'd worry about chunks going past the throttle body into the valves.

didnt even run it , saw the smoke after revving the engine upon starting it up for the first time in months, and then shut it back off , but thanks , I have a 68hta on the shelf but I need to get this back up asap to daily this week , going to look for another t25 locally
