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

well thats why it wont make any boost.
 you could have the turbo rebuilt or toss in a new one, and thats about all i know about this. you could rebuild it yourself, but the tolerances (thousandths of an inch) are soo tiny that you'd really only want to do that if you had all the tools and knew what you were doing. its possible that the turbo lost its water or oil feed and seized as a result of heat or no lubrication. -------------------- |

Yup i figured  sooooo.... does this mean that my turbo is done for and i should start looking into a replacement? or is there one last thing i could do to help the situation? if the turbo is in fact done for, should i have this one rebuilt and upgraded? or should i just look for a different turbo? thank you guys very much for the help
