N80Jamie Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 If it's blue smoke then most probably turbo oil seals dude. As for a re con, I think race tech were doing a good price? Unsure if there still doing it though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daz gt turbz Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 take one of the intercooler pipes off and inspect for exsesive oil residue, another way of telling if oil seals are on there way out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shaneyb Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 It could be something simple like the PCV valve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
