hey guys. ive just had my turbo off to fix a snapped dump pipe bolt. i have everything back on now. my problem is that theres a fair bit of smoke coming from around the turbo. i know its normal to have a bit from the gaskets. i dont think it could be a leak. everything is done up tight. unless maybe the turbo to manifold gasket has to go on a certain way?

Smoke, could be burning oil from spillages while doing the job, if it goes away your all good but if it persists it could be the oil lines leaking, they carry a fair bit of pressure while running.

thanks for the reply buddy but it has died down now. so must have just been the gasket/oil burning. i knew that would happen after i made a new thread. oh well thanks for the reply. :P

I did my first turbo change last year, statred the car and had the same thing with the smoke. I thought my car was on fire LoL.

Iv done a few more since (mates cars) and its normal to get a bit of smoke.
