Lots of smoke coming from exhaust

[High on PSI]

Nevermind, a friend over exaggerated how much smoke was coming out and there's not even an issue with the turbo.

Could have been fresh oil from the service

When it happened to mine, I never had any power loss .. wouldnt have known there was an issue tbh except for the smoke and the awful burning plastic smell

Oh dear, that sounds horribly familiar.
Mine started spewing white smoke through the pipes, a couple of days later the smoke came from under the bonnet, but at no time did the car lose power.
Once the smoking started coming through the bonnet, I stopped driving until I was able to replace the turbo. Others have kept driving, and have tried various fixes of the oil leak problem. Eventually, you'll probably have to replace the turbo.
Your problem may be something else, but, ...
BNR is your friend.

Hey mate, my turbo is smoking too but it's still driveable until I get the new one installed. The only issue I've had is I can feel it struggle in the low gears.

So far my MPS is non smoker. I hear its a bad habit so I influence a smoke-free lifestyle, as well as regular bathing, various fragrant lotions to protect from sunlight, new shoes every now and then. I even tickle her bonnet sometimes and massage the roof after I've been on a long cruise.

I'm keen on going for a GTX3071r if it is my turbo.

Something weird happened yesterday though, I went for a drive after the cruise when my car was given a rest for about 2 hours. NO SMOKE?!

OH ohhhhhhhhhh No smoke after lots of smoke= Possible no oil. I would be checking it. OR check maybe the coolant, Might be a coolant issue too, some coolants give off the same kind of white smopke as oil!
Personally, if I had a smokey Turbo, I would not drive it apart from get it home or to a mechanic.. turbos are weird things, some go forever, some fail early.
Feeling for anyone with turbo problems, can get exxxxxxxxpensive.

Oil has cooled, now thicker, not passing the seals???

Question, those with killed turbos, what oil was being used?
It is possible (slightly) that running too thin oil could not be helping the issue.

My car was recently serviced too...

I'll check if theres engine oil. Also I think something in the rear is leaking, a small patch on my garage floor, and looking under the car looks like something on the fuel tank
