Ok so new turbo on no smoke from oil filler cap but did not get the chance to put the exhaust back on but did get a bit of smoke coming up from the back of the turbo but not a lot but did not have her running long and I have cleaned everything out I did put my fingers down the down pipe and did not get no oil on them just carbon so tomorrow I am spending the day doing everything I have to do on her and am hoping that I have solved it just going mad with it right now need her back on the road ASAP but need to make shor its done and safe 1 more thing the smoke today Stung my eyes a bit not a lot bit I am putting this down to not having the exhaust on what do you think
