Turbo's these days are pretty reliable and blown seals is lower on the probability than leaning out, The other issue is how well white smoke is interpreted as full on white or if it has blue as well, its hard to notice depending on how much is blown through the exhaust, this is where your nostrils are useful or those of a friend driving behind, very hot oil can appear white but still smells like oil, wherease aluminium oxide from leaning out doesnt smell at all like oil ! So need more info before arriving at a conclusion <sigh> Anyway, as I said before we still dont know if he had a dyno tune with an AFR meter so to start hurling something akin to a bit of abuse just reflects on you Bye Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
