Hi guys,

Basically I was driving and as i set away from some traffic lights i noticed a large puff of white smoke our the rear end. As i was driving there was no smoke, however I have a feeling that the turbo is on its way out, little more whistling than usual as well, not using any more oil than it should at the moment. But does this sound along the right lines for turbo failure?

I turned over the car this morning and as I reved it a little, a lot of white smoke came out the rear end.

What do you guys rekon?
