Guys,

I just started the car the other day and let it warm for about a min then drove out of the drive way and then gunned it (about 4000 revs) and then shifted into second then a Massive bang almost like a back fire and then the car was not accelrating. I have had this problem b4 when the Intercooler piping from the passenger side b4 it mounts the Intercooler blows of due to poor clamping of the piping. There was alot of black smoke blowing out of the exhaust from what bystanders had told me and i feared that maybe a turbo had blown but I managed to put the piping on just enough to crawl home with it idling and smoke coming from exhaust.

I took of the front bar and re connected the piping up to the intercooler again and then started it again. At this stage the car was idiling very up and down almost like the intercooler was blown of again. There is no more smoke blowing out of the exhaust but it is very loud and vibrating now, compared to when it was smooth idling.

UPDATE 2 MAR 08

Right Changed Spark plugs and now is idling better then b4 this happened but now when i rev the car there is water or something spraying out the exhaust with black smoke. Also checked the blow of valves and there was white milky liquid in the lines and in the BOV itself.

SHOULD I STILL DRIVE IT OR START IT UP AS IT MAY CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS???

Has the turbo Blown??

Any help would be very very helpful!!!!

I Hope the milky liquid your talking about doesnt look like chocolate milk, this is when oil and water mix which shouldn't happen.. does it seem it has never idled properly after the "bang" even after fitting new plugs?

Well after the intercooler piping blew of yesterday and refitted it, it idled real bad and stuttery so today put the new plugs in and it idles pretty sweet, but when i give it a stab when its in neutral, smoke comes out the exhaust with some kind of liquid all over the ground. It doesnt seem to be white smoke but i could be wrong. There is no smoke when it idles though.

The oil filler cap seems to be fine. I took the rocker covers of there today for a look and it looked fine! ( a Small Nick in one of the Cam Shaft lifters though!). The Car has done 114 000 Klms and is stock as the come except for the pods! It has rapidily declined in Aceleration to when i first went for a test drive though! Feels like the turbos aren't even doing there jobs anymore! But i always here them blowing of air when i let the foot of the accelrator so who knows what the go is!!

But this watery stuff out of the exhaust and white milky watery substance in the BOV's is worrying me!!!

Hard to tell here if its a head gasket or Turbos gone....Engine oil look normal ? I am guessing Turbos...How does the temp guage run....Same as before ?..one of your turbos might be totally stuffed I am thinking

Yeah the engine oil seems to be fine at this stage! Yeah temp gauge still runs the same but am afraid to take it for a drive to do further damage to find out!

Sounds like a headgasket to me. Maybe a coolant line in the turbo(s), but I don't see how it would mix THEN make it through the motor. How does the oil on the dipstick look? Any oily film in the coolant (actually in the radiator, not the overflow)?

well i havent really checked the coolant but i did open it a little and still looked that green colour! With the coolant lines to the turbo, can they actually escape through the exhaust turbine?? i thought they ran through the turbo like it does an engine block????

It was just Pooled in the Bottom of the BOV's and it was just spurting out the exhaust! Seems to be no Spills on the ground thus far. Its been sitting 24hrs.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
