Had more play than Pamela Anderson fanny! Got it rebuilt for 380£

Do a compression test first to eliminate valve stem seals, and check your oil pick up pipe and feed, take the TIP off your turbo and you will be able to feel if it has any play

Get ready to empty your pocket

Bear in mind if it was overfilled with oil it could have dropped into the cat and is burning off, did you not check the turbo when you did rebuild?

Mate I just been there! Got shafted with a car with a bad turbo and valve stem seals! £1700 repair bill! So I feel your pain, but you need to find out what it is first before losing faith, it might not be bad and it might be disasterous? Chin up and keep on dubbing

If it wasn't for the support I got of these guys especially

Nino
Rock
Sharki
Dalo
Northeast gti
Dom

I probably would have set fire to it
