hi all
i fitted a aftermarket bov this morning the car ran fine untill i was comeing home from work, it was running fine then i went to put my foot down it judded then i lost most of my power so i pulled over to check none of the boost pipes had come off, i couldn't see any that had so i gave it a quick rev and out came a cloud of smoke (out of the exhaust) it looked grey but it was dark and smelled like oil it doesnt smoke on idel but as soon as i touch the accelerator it smokes like hell the standard boost guage moves off of the bottom but wont go above the 0 mark.
is this the turbo or is it rebuild time and oil pressure was normal.
thanks
