if ur asking us for help, how do u know that its the turbo? looking at the mods in ur sig, we would all assume that u at least have the common sense to monitor what ur motor is doing?

what kind of "racin" were u doing since u can't spell it correctly???

need more data. did you feel a loss of boost?

if so, my guess is that the bearings/bushings in the turbo went. this causes the shaft to wabble, the compressor blade rubs the housing, fins shear off, and get caught in the I/C.

the loose shaft allows oil to leave the bearing/bushing surface and blow into the exhaust.

I've seen this more than a few times on various rally cars.

your turbo blew up....you need a new one. the seals in the turbo went out so oil leaked out went through the ic pipes, ic, throttle body, intake mani, into the cylinders where it burned and caused blue smoke to go out your exhaust.

be sure and check everywhere else to make sure there are no little metal bits waiting to go into your motor when you button it all back up.

gt35r = garrett turbo 35r

With all due respect..... why are you still trying to boost the car let alone drive it without diagnosing the problem first?

Your pushing the car hard on the Autobahn and wonder why its breaking? Most tunes are for drag racing and/or peak numbers. Next time get the car tuned for road racing and stop driving like your *** is on fire.
