There is a picture somewhere with a lot more smoke

[Rob_W]

It looked white from behind....

an account from what I saw....

He went past me (smoking heavily) during my lesson with Calum. Calum, in his Scottish drawl says "ooo that's a lot of smoke................smells metallic.............think it might go bang in a minute.........................as we're pulling in I better get him flagged to stop him dumping oil on track.............did you get his number?" me " No I couldn't see it for the smoke but I think his name is Adrian if that helps"

Hmmmmm it looks quite blue but it's not gone up in flames so I'm guessing it might have exited through the exhaust. Has the rear turbo given up?

[Adrian W]

Front Turbo, I would be very surprised if it is serviceable, if Graham has one in stock it will be on the road on Saturday, and back at Silverstone on Monday night

It appeared to be coming from the engine bay in general and/or from the exhaust and mostly from the RHS when viewed from behind?

[Blu3R]

From that picture I was guessing more drivers side which is why I thought rear turbo, does the rousch feed the front turbo to the offside pipe then?
Hope you get it sorted painlessly!

Engine bay and back of the car are still spotless, all the smoke exited through the exhaust

Let's hope it's just the Turbo !!! Monday night here we come :-)
