Re: 50 trim in - lot's of smoke from exhaust

Could be a bad turbo or maybe the motor was already on it's way out before the new turbo was put on it and took the turbo out with it. We have only ever had to return 1 PTE turbo to them for warrenty work and it was because the guy incorrectly installed an oil cooler setup on his car, so the motor and turbo didn't get any oil pressure, both the motor and turbo were ruined. PTE found bearing material in the turbo from the motor and determined the cause of failure to be oil contamination, however, they still fixed it for free under warrenty.
