pretty sure turbos dead

[ft413]

now im pretty sure my turbo is going. the first problem is i bought a 62-1 trim ct26..... i know i know soo stupid. but the reason i think this is i have massive amounts of blueish smoke coming from my muffler(oil burning?). also my ic pipping are filled with oil. i just wanna make sure this is my turbo and nothing else i have to worry about. thanks in advance.

it all depends. what condition is your pcv system in? how was the car running before? burning oil?

check the shaft play on it, if there's too much then it's definitely the turbo..

PVC is a type of piping used in lawn sprinklers. PCV is positive crankcase ventilation. it is the tubes coming out of your cam covers and running to your throttle body and intake tube.

Check your shaft play if it is sloppy pull the turbo and look at the exhaust manifold outlet, if it is dry and the exhaust of your turbo is wet then your turbo is dead.
