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 thank you

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?

No, there was not abnormal reading on the boost guage before hand, it was at 8psi when it happend.

As for the DP issue, is there any way to open or close the gate by hand from the outside, like pulling on the actuators?

Im gonna check color of smoke today, this happened last night.

Im not running any cats on the car so i dont think smoke would be changed before leaving the muffler.

If my problem is coolant, what should i be looking for? a cracked hose? or is it a seal thats letting it seep past.

Or if its oil, what should i be looking for?

Also in the worst case senario, how hard is it change for a different turbo, to like a ct20? or an aftermarket one,will the coolant and oil lines still be in the same place? Or should i just have this thing rebuilt with a bigger trim? but before go there i want to see if i could fix the problem i have now though
