Hey all,
New to the site and my first post! So take it easy on me please lol.
I own an 08 MPS loving it great car.
My car has done 120 000km and the other day I saw some dreaded white/blue smoke after idling for 5 minutes (not a substantial amount but enough to catch my attention from my rear view mirror). Can confirm is the turbo. My turbo is still in working order, I believe around 10% loss of power. I can't seem to find any clear cut information that can help me on this matter without spending a bomb. As my turbo isn't completely blown I wish to repair/rebuild. What are some options going forward. I've heard mixed things about rebuilding a turbo. What's to say it's only 1 or 2 small components and a rebalancing. I understand the labour to remove and reinstate the turbo is substantial but the rebuild itself? I've been quoted around $1000 from my mechanic.
All thoughts welcome.
Regards,
Anth.
Hoping to hear some suggestions or recommendations?
