as of now i am almost certain my turbo is blown. upon start up my car blows enormous amounts of white smoke from the tailpipe. i ran a compression test (7,200 ft elevation) and read 140 across which is perfect according to my new found elevation compensation formula http://dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1562878#post1562878 . so with numbers like that I'm left to believe that the turbo is kapluee unless you can still have good compression numbers with any cylinder issues such as bad guides, ring, valves, seats, HG? anything you guys would know about?. i removed the snorkel only to find a nice little puddle of oil staring me in the face. what my question is is that is their anyway i am able to bypass the turbo completely without removing it, so that the car is drivable and not pulled over by law enforcement? i mean can i some how cap off the inlet/outlet of the turbo and connect my licp to my snorkel? would it run right>? by the way the car is a 97 GST spyder.
