Alryt guy's, Ive got olly p's black ph1 dt with the t25 turbo nowa days and it appears ive broken it!
Basicly i left it for like 2-3 days then took it out day before yesterday in the snow, Obviously didnt use boost as it was like an ice ring. Then i take the car out yesterday and notice the turbo wasnt really pulling properly and i had a f**k load of grey with a little black smoke like i'd never seen before and noticed the temp guage seemed to get hotter when it was puffing the clouds out the back. I think maybe a boost leak as the turbo has a welded wastegate, perhaps the welds cracked due to the freezing conditions? I say that as the turbo still boosts to 25 psi, just isnt as spontaneous as usual, and past experiances normally grey smoke can be caused by a boost leak. Also i can hear an odd sound from the engine bay when trying to boost which i'd like to say sounds like a boost leak but the turbo spool is so loud i cant really tell tbh, Any advice? cheers
