hi guys,
this isnt mini related but it is turb related so i hope you can help.
my friend just bought a volvo 480 turbo, and he just rang me to say that when he accelerates, it pulls well, then as the turbo kicks in it makes a wierd noise (he said it sounds like a gurgling noise????) and big clouds of black smoke come out of the exhaust, he said when this happens the car feels down on power big time.
i told him the turbo is probably fooked, but i think he wants another opinion.
ehat do you guys reckon? is it the turbo?
cheers
DAN :)

Overfuelling?

Is the tailpipe sooty or oily?

Is there oil around the turbocharger core - ie seeping out of the seals
