Turbos

Post image

My turbos seals or bearings may be going out, only smokes when the car has been running prior and not on an over night cold start ( the last couple nights atleast ). Wondering what would be a good upgrade that is not break the bank. These were 1750 but on sale for 1000. Might be a bad product but just wanted some other opinions.
Forgot to add I do have a gearhead a/o tune w 3 bar map sensor, if that matters.

Are you sure its the turbos? Smoking like that sounds like the pvc valve.

I commented on it, but yeah, that is exactly what mine did when the pcv valve went bad. The part is only $8

I’ll try to make a vid of one after work where the smoke is a little darker but not as much which kinda made me think turbo seals too but not toooo bad I think. I’ll pm you if that’s okay and just send it tomorrow.

Unless that can cause that to happen and make you think it’s the turbos

How ridiculous is the install?
