Turbo Problem

[Daniel Castro]

Recently started seeing smoke coming out my hood and realized that the turbo was smoking. It is a white color smoke and I do see that the turbo is wet in between the cold side and hot side or simply where all the return lines are at. I will also get blueish smoke coming from the tailpipe of my exhaust but only when if been driving it around for a good 20-30 min and let it sit for about 3 minutes idling. It will smoke for about 2 minutes and it will go away. Could it be my turbo seals are blown although it may not be the case since there is no oil in the throttle body and I’m not sure how Long the BNR S1 turbos last but it has around 45-50k miles on and it still spool up really good.

Interested in this as well. Could still be the Seals starting to go. A little blowby is all it takes. When was the PCV valve last replaced? Or, have you checked spark plugs for any unusual color? Just a couple other options to porltentially check before ruling turbo Seals.

Not sure if I'll get in trouble for offering but I have recently bought what I thought was a BNR S4 from a friend to find out it very well might be an S3. Would be willing to let it go if you (or anyone were interested). Would send pics, details, and signage as per protocol. Still figuring out exactly what I have. I was looking more for a BNR S4 to install the V5 CHRA so an S3 isn't going to help lol.
