This is a newb question... but I'm some what a newb and I would appreciate some help....
Ok so I need a little help with my new SR swap. I swapped it in last weekend and finally had it running. It ran great, pulled hard and sounded extremely healthy. I continued to drive it the rest of the week and then I noticed that I was gradually getting more and more bluish smoke out my exhaust. Then by the end of the week it was pouring a good amount on a cold start. Obviously there could be many things wrong. I'm thinking the turbo seals are shot. I had oil in my hotpipe when I took it off and also a good amount in the outlet tube. The car still sounds healthy and pulls really hard. I also noticed that my return line IS kinked. Either way I'm pretty sure it's my turbo. Should I just buy a new return line and see if that fixes it or are the seals shot and should I just buy a new turbo? This seems simple when you read it, but considering I live three hours away from my shop (where my car is currently sitting) and I have no internet access out there, it's not something I can just look at or fix whenever I want to.
If someone has a link to these same symptoms, just go ahead and send me the link please...
