I've noticed lately that if I accelerate heavily for a sustained period of time, boosting about 14psi on my stock 14b and fuel system, that after I slow the rpms down I get quite a bit of oil smoke out my exhaust, and I can smell oil smoke in the cabin. My car has 87k miles on the stock 6bolt and turbo. Now I'm reasonably sure that it's the turbo that's blowing oil and causing it to smoke, but I don't see any external signs on the turbo housing itself of bad oil seals. I just want to make sure that it's the turbo before I order a replacement, install it, and find out that it's really some engine seal and have to tear it apart and rebuild it.
Any input?
