hi boys and girls, im now the proud owner of luke simsons purple 1200 coupe (ca18det auto)... and i'm just wondering if my turbo is blown?
I took it for a squirt up the road, 2 things:
1: When it gets to about 3000rpm it starts to miss, (kev rowley) he said the oxygen sensor might be gone.
2: Its blowing a bit of smoke.... but not when i free rev it, and after a few seconds it goes away.... there is a very little leak on the front housing (compressor housing)of the turbo, (will post a pic later) any ideas? im not to worried about the miss as i know its got a stock ecu (Autronic SM4 will be fitted soon) im not over familiar with turbo engines, use to old school webbers and stuff.

Awesome looking car mate!

Thanks mate, looks even better now that I've cleaned it!

Have to agree that's a pretty sweet looking car. Any photos that show the bonnet a little clearer? I think I see a nice looking scoop. If you don't have a picture don't worry about it.
