On cold start up my car puffs out plumes of oily smoke, turbo....

How much and from whom can i get a turbo?

I don't want to spend 2 grand on it, i hadn't budgeted on fitting/upgrading the turbo any time soon so im going to have to steel it from some little old lady.

KO3/KO3-hybrid/KO4.....?

Recon....?

Cheers.
 
does it do it when warm, asking for boost low down to where the boost starts dropping ~ 1800rpm - 6000rpm
if not i would be doubtful that it is the turbo itself

it wont take you long to pull off the intake and see if theres play in the shaft or if its covered in oil.

hybrid - if the housing isnt cracked - will depend on what your wanting, iirc hybridisng by TD is around £600

Stops smoking as soon as there's temp showing on the gauge (60c'ish), still smells oily though. I'll check for play on the shaft.
