Bad turbo diagnosis....
im trying to find clues of a bad turbo. im having a couple issues and im wondering if its a bad turbo or not. a little bit of smoke coming from under the intake somewhere, alot of white smokes coming from exhaust, vac. idle is at 10 instead of 20...so im just trying to find out how i would know if a turbo was bad, or what these problems could be from. thanks

first i'd check where your vacuum leak is coming from, cause that's definitely low. the black smoke could be oil from something else other than the turbo.. but it doesn't rule out a bad turbo
