im with chris on that one, how many miles has it done?? if its done shed loads 150k + and only does it when cold you may be looking at valve stem seals or piston rings but from what you said above turbo.
rebuild around £100-150 , or you could just put that money towards a k03s, i picked a k03s up on ebay last month for £120![]()
turbo oil seals are on there way out
give cr turbos a ring they will tell you how much or get it converted to a hybrid![]()

i got a ko3s hybrid with rs6 internals but if you speak to them they will advise you on what you need good bunch of lads delt with them lots
What is the different between a ko3s setup and a hybrid setup ?what will I have to Chang to go hybrid. ( what power do you get from a hybrid )
more poweryou will also need 225 injectors and 3" maf. custom remap, uprated clutch.
then things like fmic, turbo back exhaust and downpipe you should have already or be planning to get. should see around 260-270 bhp![]()
is it even your turbo im thinking you might be getting ahead of yourself here as for cr turbos being the best! hummm they make mistakes like anyone else.
how much play is in your turbo unit is it flopping about all over the place?
would hate to see you go hybrid and find out you bottom ends gone.
only saying this becuase i have been thier little blue smoke and it was a big problem. read my readers ride...
If I remember right it was only when warmed up not on boost but on down shift.
All I'm saying is get ur turbo checked by some who knows how much play they should have.
If it is your turbo then yer look at hybrids and all that. but it could be a different underlieing problem.
Like me got a new turbo made no different so engine was out.
