No problem.
No problem.
Update on this ere thread...
Did the PCV last Thursday and the SOB still smokes. Seriously contemplating getting rid of said vehicle as I don't want to waste loads of cash chasing a problem, when I could be driving an AMG instead!!
Talk me out of it fellas
you won't be wasting money investing in a 19t instead of buying some German sh*te (which'll probably be an automatic)
assuming it is the turbo thats smoking & not the piston rings gone, in which case you buy a 2.5 block

///AMG for life
I'll avoid the middle man and just get a bigger turbot mate- probably go for an hybrid 16T or similar. FFM has given me loads of interesting info on his ex (lol) sounds like it was a good spec (from Alanm) at a reasonable cost- the results were pretty good on the 1/4i'd of thought the turbo has got to be the most likely thing now, how about getting a rebuild kit from fleabay & getting it checked out
its a good job the forums got a swear filter lol

Hi mate, ive got a couple of 16t's lying around that need refurbing you can have one for £40 if you want and Alan M is within 5ish miles of me, or i have a spare 15g lying around as well not sure of condition as it wasnt on my car but it wasnt smoking on the car it was on as far as i know,(donor car i used for my conversion) you could have this and if its any good pay me £40 or send it back, might be worth a go?.
Oh by the was dont sell it mate ive been through hell and back with mine but its going to be worth it. AMG=Another Mancky German

Hahah love the AMG bit James, PMSL!!!
Like the idea of the 16T esp if Alan can do a bit of extra work to it for me-ie 19T internals; won't be able to do anything until the beginning next month atm due to being a tad skint because of a very demanding T-5R lol
Will have some dosh in June, which will go on the car, mods etc now that you, Pedro and my missus have talked me out of getting rid and buying Another Manky German
Mate i will send you the 15g if you want to try it you can pay me in a month or so no probs, if its no good just send it back, nothing worse than driving round in a car that smokes

No don't worry about that mate, I'll go for the full monty lol
PM'd you
Good choice mate, i think i remember seeing a vid of FFM doing a 13.9 with one of Alan's hybrids on it, i want some of that lol(just having an 18t refurbed at the moment back on friday im looking for very low 14's maybe 13.9 with the wind behind me, i would be a very happy man then.)

A man after my own heart lol I won't be happy til I'm in the mid 13s or lower lol
Gotta give Pedro a run for his money, the BIGT5R
Hi Danny was the turbo you put on refurbed? both my 16t's smoked and that was on different engines, is the smoke clear on start up and until the car/oil warms up then turns blue? do you get a build up while sitting in traffic then a big cloud when you pull off?

Do a compression test on the engine mate that will tell you if its the piston rings or not but it sounds like the turbo smoking, if you just leave the car idleing and stand by the exhaust is there faintish blue smoke?.
Also take the air pipe off to the turbo and see if there is any play in the shaft.
I could well be wrong mate im only going by own experiances some clever person will be along im sure to explain the theories lol
