I am VERY seriously considering parting out my '91 Turbo. Bought busted turbo that was supposedly 'working' ... NOT. Smoked worse after the change!
The engine ran well when it was stopped to replace turbo. Upon cranking after change, engine ran and idled fine but white smoke was still pouring out of exhaust. The Head was milled to smooth out a very mild warp (.007 in) and had unmilled before that (at factory dimensions). The head has the Turbo cam and turbo exh vales and valves/seats cleaned at shop. Trying to see if the selling/parting out would be worth it. Body is in good shape, glass is good, engine ran/runs good at last start up. Wiring harness has some bad spots and vacuum hoses not worth anything. Any suggestions? Thanks
