Turbos given up the ghost!

Discussion in 'Mechanical - Engine, Gearbox, Exhaust etc' started by Worbz83, Oct 5, 2014.

  1. Was driving back from Goodwood this afternoon after a good morning out with friends and family and my 225 started smoking like a gooden . White smoke is pouring out the exhaust and air filter and just about nursed her home from Guildford. Guess this is the oil seals? If so can I rebuild the turbo or is it a new one?
