wow, thought I was ressurecting an old thread, but its not!
Anyway, I [search]'d and found this, same problem with my t25 (big turbo is getting rebuilt)... except it has NO SHAFT PLAY in and out, and only a TINY, TINY bit radially. I dont get any smoke at full boost (running 10lbs), but if I let the engine sit in the In & Out line or a really long signal, it'll start pluming out of the exhaust (blue-ish smoke, definitely smells like my precious mobil 1), then it goes away once I start driving again.
The varying nature of the problem tells me it's not rings, so I guess it's got to be turbo? Just seems weird, given no other warning signs... any info would be great!
TIA
ps - drft103, if you've got $1.2k, you don't have enough money to go big turbo yet (with all the fixins)... if you're thinking 300rwhp isn't enough (like most guys with stock SRs), get the big snail and run it at stock-ish boost until you get injectors/afc/mafs/etc, but I'd say get a great condition used T28 or a new one and your SAFC/emanage.
