Yeah it probably isn't as bad and you're right, it is over time. I have been getting whiteish smoke from the exhaust which makes sense now and there is some play in the turbine shaft.

If I was to do anything I would at least get it out and have it refurbished, especially due to the play in the shaft.. I even thought of going down the hybrid route but then that would need a new FMIC and downpipe and remap...so we taking big bucks. Tempting though ha.

How hard is it to get the turbo out does anyone know?
