I was jumping on the freeway in 2nd gear with stock boost, suddenly the car sputtered and would no longer boost. still not fuel cut because there was no engine light. The car now blows a lot of smoke from the tail pipe. Blown turbo?, blown turbo seal? Rings? dunno someone help me

Got your PM... I know it sucks man, but you gotta be safe and stop driving your car, take off the turbo or have a mechanic do the work. If you turbo failed, it can also contaminate your oil and lead to engine problems.
This may give you a chance to go with a smaller or bigger turbo to better suit your car. Were you getting any abnormal gauge readings before the problem? -------------------- '92 Grey Mitsubishi 3000GT SL - Sold
