    You should ask if they would consider giving you the money and put in a GT2871 instead

    Just had my turbo replaced after 32,000. exhaust is stock to the splitter and then 2.5 inch pipes to 2.5 inch mufflers.

    After a the car had warmed up and it idled or was allowed to cool and the restart, it produced a James Bond style white smoke screen.

    New turbo is awesome, new part number, spools earlier and pulls to 6000rpm. Love it, worth the $0 I spent, best mod in the world

    I agree the new turbos do spool earlier
    I found the same thing when mine was replaced

    When you find out, let me know too

    Teedee, did you have both the 6 and CX-7 turbos replaced or just the 6?

    hmmmm interesting read there ...

    well ... my car is a late Feb 2007 build and was delivered at the start of June 2007 with 27km on the clock ...

    i just had the 20000km service done not long before, and when I lifted off in second was greeted by a cloud of white smoke that would have done Q proud ...

    anyhow ... intermitantly i would get a big old puff of smoke but it would pass ... but hadn't seen any problems for about 6 months

    about 3 months ago i had a cat back system installed (custom) and had nothing till a month ago when it came back ... since then i've had it happen twice and it happened when i've let the car idle for a couple of minutes ...

    so ... it's happened before and after my cat back was fitted ... and from the looks of the polls, not having an after market exhaust fitted is no protection against shot seals .. at this point 12 shot, 11 healthy, and of the shot it's an even split between exhaust and no exhaust ... mind you, my point should be split between cat back and standard ... it did it before and since

    time to give the dealership a call and get me a new turbo

    Mine has smoked, but not as much as mentioned here... come to think of it, it was probably because it was a cold morning lol
