so the things you always wanna hear when ur gettin on it and kathunk no more boost, and white smoke and that oh so pleasent rattle from the turbo. so what now??? there was a lil bit of fresh oil aroung head,the motor ran as usual just without boost and white smoke out the tailpipe, it wasnt idling weird or anything, checked the oil wasnt below the low mark but just above it, just had it changed bout 2000 miles ago, so as you all can imagine im pissed

 

im not a turbo wise guy... but sounds like its toast...

 

white smoke means coolant...

 

oh... yeah... that also!!!!!!! lol.. sorry im doing homework as well u.u

 

ya sounds like your turbo is gone. i could be wrong it was still driving after the kathunk? maybe you blew a stock charge pipe off perhaps. where are the dsm masters? they will post up soon and should have a better idea

 

you proabably just blew off an intercooler pipe of something. You most likely have a massive boost leak which is causing you to run very rich (white smoke). Check all the intercooler piping around the turbo and down at the bottom for any cut in them or the clamps loose

 

i've never run that rich so i didn't know, thanks TE, i learn something everyday

 

i gave a little bit of look around the intercoller but it was gettin kinda dark, but that wouldnt explain the turbo ratteling would it? that and i dont think it really smelled like unburnt gas

 

do you have shaftplay in your turbo?

 

dont know i havent even looked at it since it happened i just know how the cars acting i had to leave it at a friends cause i didnt wanna run another 15 miles on it to get home
