The turbo itself made 180rwkw but was de-tuned so it would last the month however it didnt even last a night. I can still drive it just need to keep it below 2500rpm otherwise it starts to get a bit too excited. Goes back Jan 3rd and should with a new turbo easly make over 200rwkw.

nice work on the interior etc. as far as the economy goes, 190km for half a tank seems right to me, if not better than usual!

If you take a look at this photo you can sadly see the oil coming out of the air filter

so the turbo wasn't new or reconditioned?

Nah neither it was pretty much dead. It had been sitting around so long the seals in it went hard which gave the appearance of no shaft play however once it got running the thing has nothing but shaft play in it. The unit itself is useless and wouldn't even be useful as a door stop

Yeah not sure what I am going to do with it yet. Not sure if its useful for anyone as a rebuild or not. If not I might use it as a boat anchor
