ok... i've blown a few turbos so i knew how they were when they go out... so i blew my t25(started smoking like hell) then i put a 14b on there... the 14b soon started to smoke like it was going out however i took that off and put a big 16g on and the 14b has slim to no shaft play... now, this big 16g i used the same exhaust housing as my old 14b b/c of the excessively large cracks on the turbine housing and its been about 2 weeks and now its smoking bad, again... wtf is going on with my car... why does it act like turbos are a healthy breakfast... anyways for some reason now i'm pretty sure its not the turbo, what else could it be... i have about 10k miles on a fresh rebuild... someone told me that it might be the valve seals but i dont understand why every time i change the turbo it stops smoking for a little bit
