about 3 weeks ago I started my car one morning and it started smoking:sour: As soon as it warmed up it would stop. As I was changing my cam I put in new valve seals. That didn't do it. I checked the plugs they all looked good, not to mention my motor has about 3K miles on it after a fresh rebuild. So I turned to my 1 year old Holset HY35 turbo. When I bought it it had 17 miles on it so the e-bay seller said, but I believe him. When I got it it looked BRAND NEW!! no joke. Well I bought this kit for $45 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=006&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=160180207575&rd=1
installed it and my car no longer smokes when cold.
Now I ask myself, Turbo timer?? do I need one. I have shut the car off from time to time after some boosting to run into the store or what have you. The bearings looked fried, the shaft was blue in spot telling me it got way hot. And there was crusty burned oil build up just before the hot side blades. I cleaned it all up, put in the new stuff. It was quite easy. And seems to work. So there, take that info and go get yourself some more turkey.
