What are the main signs of a blown turbo. Is it just blue smoke out the back and if so would it blow blue smoke out all the time or is that dependant on how badly damaged it is, i have noticed that my car has started drinking oil, and blue smoke kicks out the back every now and again...
It started off with blue smoke blowing out the back after i have pushed the car hard, not really whilst pushing it, so normally i would put my foot down and then come to a set of traffic lights slow down if not stop, then a puff of blue smoke would appear, but now i dont even have to push it and some times blue smoke appears.
When i put the turbo in the was little play in the shaft left to right, and the turbo makes a wining noise under pressure. And it is not holding boost that well anymore.
