bad turbo?

[racrbryce325]

just bought the car i got on it coming home then i smelled burning oil then the car filled with smoke luckily i was close to home so i parked it. i can start the car, run it, drive it, it just blows an un normal amount of smoke its white and blue. the car doesnt run rough or anything like that i pulled the intake off and found oil in the turbo but my question is is there something besides a turbo or is that definatly whats wrong? thank you for your guys help!

Sounds like it could be bad rings.

Try moving the turbo shaft. If its got excessive play, then oil could be going past the turbine seals into the exhaust

yeah i checked it there is like zero play in there but is oil sitting in the turbo

There will be some oil in that location because of the tube that comes out of your valve cover and goes to the intake after the MAS. It vents the crankcase. That is why people install oil catch cans.

I say turbo but you could do a leak down test and find out. Mine did the same thing and my turbine shaft seal was leaking and it smoked. You could also take the turbo off and look at it and if its soaked with oil on the exhaust side then it's you're turbo that took a dump.

If it were you're rings you're spark plugs would be soaked in oil. Check you're spark plugs.

Can you post a picture of how the oil feed line is ran? Stock 1g's should be fed from the cylinder head (near thermostat housing) to the top of the turbos center section via hard line.

Is everything stock? Did the PO (previous owner) mention anything about being a different turbo than stock, like a 16G?

Sounds like it could definitely be a turbo seal.

OPt for the turbo as well, but it could be a bad pcv as well, which it will allowed oil go through the intake and turbo.

if the pcv is bad then i dont think that much oil is gonna drain all the way back to the turbo if anything when you boost that boost pressure could get in the crankcae more than likley its the turbo
