Just received it through the post and will be fitting it tomorrow. Will report back how I get on.

In addition, I think the vapour is normal as Andy said; just makes sense.
I'm really interested in this, I'd be gobsmacked if it did solve the issue. That said, i lose 1 litre of oil a month which is around 1 litre every 1000 miles.. I suppose it was taking into account a new turbo plus crankcase breather and losing oil with the oil vapour led me to believe piston rings. So your dipstick is just like mine in the video?
Yep, exactly like yours.
Are you seeing the same leak as I've shown in my original post? And what was the reason for the new turbo? Was you experiencing play in the shaft? how did it compare with my vid?
