symptoms of a blown turbo?

Its quite likely if you have fitted a new inlet manifold recently that your leak is there somewhere. You will have a rising of rpm at idle with the throttle closed as the engine is sucking in air though somewhere

This will also cause your smoke on boost as once the inlet becomes positively charged it will loose pressure and cause you to run rich

checked around the IAA just now, and saw that a hose coming out of the IAA blew off due to a crappy clamp.

I replaced the clamp and put the hose back on..going out to check it right now.

hopefully that's the case, which I think it is.

wish me luck guys...I'll keep you updated.

around the inlet itself was gonna be the next port of call, glad you got it sorted m8, there is a wealth of knowledge on this forum, best place to come to for info mods and tech.

heh actually, I hit up the whole S12 WAP and everybody pointed me in the right direction.

Glad to here she is a go'er again. Whats your current spec and future plans?

current spec is nothing to note..haha.

all I've done is up the boost to 10psi, add a blow off valve, a tune up and a 60mm throttle body with a bored out intake manifold to match.

The plan is to drop in a ca18det, thats why I haven't done much to this engine. I've got a skyline GT-R N1 T28 waiting to go on the new engine as well, I'm just saving up the money for it.
