Sounds like a stuck VNT mechanism that. Its not the exhaust flap thats controlled by the actuator on these turbos, the actuator controls the viens on the exhuast side of the turbo.

Ill find a link gimme a min

EDIT link found + spelling

Would be a very logical explanation that.

looks like a straight forward job, id attempt that before buying a new turbo for sure

VNT is jam'd either caused by huge amounts of soot, or I've seen the VNT ring seize due to too much heat on one before.

Putting smoke out your not kidding, i was talking to you a while ago at the lights near tesco in st.helens (on a thursday night i think, in a silver fabia vRS with tinted windows) and you booted off the lights, f**k me i couldnt see anything just a black cloud;)

Anyway good luck with getting it back on road:thumbup:

Would it not have been best not to drive it if it was that bad ?

from what I've seen it always poors smoke out. I've had another car in with similar mods from same place and that smoked real hard, and the VNT was jam'd by to much heat, and the turbo shaft was trashed by over boost.

Not a good thing then ? :(
