Had the wife's car out the other day. And noticed the turbo wasn't working. Had it into garage today and turbo worked on the way there. Guy looked at it and said the turbo was goosed. Damage to the veins from some sort of impact. He thought carbon build up. Car was only walnut blasted 5k ago. The car also drinks oil. Probably a litre every 500mile at most. Doesn't appear to be burning oil when you look at the exhaust vapours. No blue smoke. Would a thicker oil help slow oil consumption say 10w30. And where's the cheapest place to buy a turbo. Spotted one at neo mini spares for 315 but this isn't OEM?
