Re: turbine seal blown (DLB1994)
I would watch your oil levels.
Burning oil is not good and sooner or later, you need to fix that turbo. Better now than later.
Mine cost a little over 300 to get the O-rings redone.

Re: turbine seal blown (wonny)
correct me if i am wrong. but when is white smoke caused by oil. i thought it was water. any was see what it smells like. their are 2 types of burnt oil smells. one when oil cooks off of something hot like when your turbo leaks and the second when the oil is burned in the combustion chamber.

Re: turbine seal blown (CovertFI)
Water does not smoke. That was one of the stupidest things I have ever heard. Water evaporates, producing steam - white steam. Oil burns, and produces white smoke when burnt off of a hot surface as it does when there is a seal leak.

Re: turbine seal blown (OKSolSi)
ok jack *** i am always nice to people on this forum look at this bitch:
Thick white smoke: Call a tow truck.
Unlike the wispy white vapor described above, billowing white smoke is almost always an indication of serious engine trouble, and warrants immediate attention. If you continue to drive the vehicle, the engine could overheat and suffer extensive damage. Smoke of this sort is usually caused by the engine burning coolant, and can be the result of a blown head gasket or a damaged cylinder head, or a cracked engine block, which requires a new engine or an engine rebuild. Even a small coolant leak can lower the engine's coolant level, resulting in overheating and, potentially, catastrophic engine damage. A coolant leak into the engine's oil system may not cause any tailpipe smoke but could cause the oil to become thin and milky looking, and cause the coolant to look like brownish sludge. This, too, requires immediate attention.

Re: turbine seal blown (DLB1994)
so you are saying just because it is new that there could be nothing wrong with it? wake up man **** happens. do a compression check then you can rule out your motor. take 20 minutes tops.

Re: turbine seal blown (DLB1994)
it won't really hurt your performance but be careful -- i've heard of one instance where blown turbo oil seals caused oil to go through the intake piping and into the engine, where it then collected in cylinder 4; this caused higher compression in that cylinder and the guy eventually blew his motor because of that higher compression!
