As above, sounds more like a pipe failure somewhere than a blown turbo. Tend to get oil pass through when they go so would be pumping out smoke from the exhaust.

Welcome, sorry to hear your having issues :(

Be aware headgasket failure on a 2.5 is a full rebuild job including bottom end. When the headgasket fails has a nasty habbit of pinching the crank bearings and damaging them meaning they fail very very soon after if not replaced.

You want to speak to Gary moulson at keith micheals, he specialises with scoobs and evo's, and just ask him any questiosn you have. They also cover mods like for like if you want. Been with them for donkeys years, there is an option for claims when you ring the main office number. He can be hard to get hold of cos hes mega busy with folks ringing him.

Can only reiterate my quote above, JCT are building a decent reputation. Member on here picked his up yesterday, straight over to a specialist for a once over and it was given a clean bill of health inc dyno run.Judging by the graph they ran it in Australian mode,,, haha Glad it's all good.might be worth trying to find a set. car like this will have more value as close to standard as possible.Have you still got the origional parts that have been taken off?
