Took the car out for a drive in the nice weather.Noticed blue smoke coming from the exhaust.Only if I backed off it then gave it gas again.Then it got worse.Now the car smokes very heavily at idle.Turbo oil seal?If so can I fix it myself?
* I would not do the spring cleaning until the smoking problem is fixed.teamgn87:
Well I guess I am screwed.I took off the up pipe and the throttle body is full of oil.So is the inter-cooler.Great,now I have a 3500lb. paper weight.How much is this gonna cost to fix?It took me a long time to save the money for this P.O.S.I dont have a whole lot of money to fix this thing.Now the wife is giving me grief about this.Help?Anyone?
If you dont have the money to have it rebuilt just buy a used stock turbo from someone online. If your using pumpgas and low boost you wont even notice a difference anyways.teamgn87:
I just found out that the turbo is a ta-49.Does anyone know where I can get it rebuilt in the NY area?The center section alone is going for $590.As for any play,I cant move the shaft in or out but I can wiggle it side to side. dunno
