The Haynes has a reasonable set of diagrams, the Bentley has a better set. But I don't get it - how many could you possibly have needed to disconnect to get to the turbo? There's only one that connects directly to the turbo (well, to the waste gate actuator). > and worringly theres a new puff of smoke when the accelerator is released > when the turbo is spinning fast.

When you say recon, do you mean it was rebuilt, or was removed from a car, given a wipe down and called 'reconditioned'? -- Grunff
