Right...
Not sure what's going on so could do with a bit of advice. Been going on for a while but seems to be getting worse so I figure it's about time I sorted it.
Tested the boost pressure... 14psi exactly but only at high rpm... >4k.
I get some smoke coming from behind the block when starting (rarely) that goes away after starting... (I get smoke when its running but from the exhaust)
Right so something is leaking...
What are the likely candidates?
Turbo cracked/knackered? Leak from exhaust/intake manifold? any hoses (or the exhaust?) back there known to leak?
Been having a look around and figure I'll have to pop the block forward to get a good look but wondering if anybody has any idea what I'm likely to find down there?
Fairly sure it's a KKK turbo on there..... when I bosched it I was planning on winding it up but tbh I haven't really had chance yet and then with the leak... do they all have the same manifolds?
If I find a cracked turbo/manifold, what are my replacement options? ideally the best bolt on replacement?
