Think its f*cked. Please help
Hi all,
After a bit of a drive (nothing excessive at all) I got the CEL coming on and I got home and looked in disbelieve as I saw smoke coming out of the engine. I s*hat myself. Thought it was on fire. However after letting it cool down for a while, the CEL light no longer comes on. However, it refuses to go on boost now. It just dumps.
The smoke coming out the engine (if it was smoke, it was dense and smelt very oily but wasnt dense smoke or anything.
Checked the oil and hoses etc. They all seem fine. Does this mean ive busted the turbo ? What kinda turbo do I need for a 94 WRX import.
