FAACK

need urgent help. i know this isnt really the right forum but this is the 2nd time this happened. last time in cost me $1400 plus towing the bitch 450kms to the shop. Driving along with the car at the majic number of 170, same as last motor, the boost drops to nothing, starts pissing out smoke from the exhaust and is basicly rooted. any help as to what could be wrong.
last time i lost compresion on the 2nd cylinder. but im not sure this time as i had to abandon the car.

Thank you

sounds like oil is getting burnt inside the turbo.. happens to alot of the new cars we get at work because they dont let the turbo cool down after driving and stuff... the seals go real easy and starts pouring smoke out. wat turbo are you running?

i always let it cool down after a drive just the way a turbo timer would.
