Hey guys i new to this site but iv had my 33 for about 2 years. A problem i have that i hope someone can help me with.

The car is standard just the general bolt on things exh.boost cont. filter but when i get to 4 grand rpm theres this strange rattle like sound. Now boost never dropped it still went just aswell but on change of gears i would get a puff of smoke out the back.

Now just recently i was driving home from work, everything normal got to about 4 1/2 thousand rpm and then the boost just dropped off and it definately didnt go aswell when i got home and checked under the hood oil was all over the right hand side of the engine (looking at the engine from the front)

I asked a friend who is a mechanic and he said the rattle could be the cat is stuffed and the parts are just rattlling around inside or the turbs is fingered and its time 4 rebuild or upgrade or something about the seals around the turbs.

Now im no mechanic but if i did the rings wouldnt blue smoke constantly be puffing out the back on idle.

Please any help would be good as the mechanics where i live love to say to me "looks like its time to get a V8"

If anyone does reply can they please send it to [email protected]
