Hi,
My 7m has been rebuilt 5000km ago (new rings, pistons, bearing, full valve job etc, turbo was not rebuilt.), everything is flawless with the motor, compression is perfect, car drives perfect and makes good power.
today i was boosting up a hill, gave it a little stick in 2nd then 3rd, and then came to a stop, as i was stopping a small burst of blue smoke came out my exhaust and passed me (window was blowing that direction)
my missus followed me home today and noticed that it only happened once or twice on a 30 minute drive and only happened a few seconds after i had been on boost (not on take off)
turbo has slight shaft play back/forth and a bit of radial shaft play.
Is my turbo on its way out?? (looking for a excuse to upgrade anyway!)
