IC is front mount, all breather lines connected to catch tank and none back into the inlet pipe. Motor is a MY00 UK turbo with 60K on the clock.

Standard block and heads, MD304 turbo, gruppe-s headers, HKS exhuast parts, HKS air filter blah blah.

If sitting at the lights or cruising for a little then blast it, lots of smoke.

Coming off from crusing on the motorway then floor it down a dual carriageway gives off less smoke but still a fair bit - mostly as the turbo spins up and at top revs it gives out more but increase flow thru the engine woudl do this to.

Once the car has had a bit of boost thru it then it seems to be a lot better with minmal to no smoke.

Turbo has been sent back to TD for full repair and is still 3 months under warranty, as said above compression check came out at 120psi all round. Has has a fairly hard life being tuned to 300ish HP for the last 4/5 years. Wouldnt say a lot of short journeys really just normal road useage and a few track/airfeild days.

Tempted to try another turbo just to make sure its not that first!!
