smoker is an unknown quantity at this point

Thanks to everyone that replied with suggestions. Anyway this afternoon I plugged the oil feed to the turbo and the smoke stopped so i guess the turbo seals are faulty (bit annoyed because it was done up by a specialist turbo recon. company last year). There seemed to be loads of side movement on the rotor but i was just told "Put some oil into the bearings and it will be ok" Just wish I had tryed disconnecting the thing before having the block rebored etc. but it has done 130,000 miles so due some attention.

Now I have a bigger turbo and intercooler how much extra power is unleashed by changing the exhaust - I have the std. pipe with a custom straight through back box at moment. Do Silvia engineering still do a 3 inch system ?

cheers
