Ok Ive had the car a month and have only driven it about a week. It started out just kinda sputtering and now it wont even start ( the car ran perfectly when I bought it). when I attempt to start it it dies after about a 1/2 of a second, and when it does start I can hear the turbo whining at a much higher pitch than normal and gray smoke starts pouring out the tailpipe. It dies shortly after. I thought it was the turbo going out so I checked it and there was no symptoms of it going bad, everything seemed fine. I then checked the ECU for leaking caps, everything is good there too. the car is completly stock and I am checking for boost leaks tomorrow but would that honestly cause this kind of problem?? also there is a CEL on but I have no logger to check that. What could be wrong???
