Bad primary turbo,.....or engine?
What are the things to look for in order to distinguish difference between bad primary turbo or bad engine.???
Scenerio: Car smokes a little at cold start-up (every morning). Smoke completely goes away after 2-3 minute warm up. Car smokes moderatley when WOT, but stops smoking at secondary turbo transition. Pulls/accelerates very hard throughout rpm range. If the problem is with the Primary Turbo, can it be repaired with a "kit".?? if so, where can I purchase the kit? Thanks for your anticipated help and advise.

Probably just the turbo burning oil.

Thanks 911GT2: Probably a stupid question, but, ..Is there power loss (even slightly) when P/T is burning oil??

911GT2: Is it a fairly minor repair job involving changing out gaskets and/or o-rings? And is the Primary Turbo easy to take out (just bolts?) of manifold and easy to take apart for the repair/rebuild? Thanks for your input. Much appreciated.
