Hey guys fitted second hand turbo yesterday with limited shaft play and seals seemed ok. Fitted and runs fine with no whine or anything no smoke on boost or overrun..however i get abit on idle now..

Now i think it may be from the turbo before (considering it was smoking for almost 3 months lol) is it likely its burning off from the exhaust? How long should it last?

I dont get any smoke on start up though..which would suggest that. I think the oil is in the walls of the exhaust ill see how it goes i think

Hi, Oil in the exhaust would only vaporise when fairly hot. Therefore the smoke would only occur after a run. I would also guess any grunge in the exhaust would be soon blown away with a burst down the motorway.
cheers,
