Turbo problem

[Pipatec]

Hey my friends.

Did anyone here have problems with the stock turbo? I get my car to the dealer on nov/06 and they change the turbo, after that I install a turbo timer because they said that I need to wait a few seconds before turn it off but I noticed that last week it becomes to smoke again and The turbotimer it's always functioning very well and on 2 or 3 minutes. Is there something bad with the stock turbos?

yes from what ive read so far on them the seals in the turbos like to go out theres a thread floating around here somewhere about it. people in the speed 3's and the speed 6's have been having the same problems

Ya, but this is the first I've heard of the replacement turbo also smoking.

Yep, but I only noticed it after taking out the cats.
