Clarification and Disagree with some of this

There MAY POSSIBLY be (in the archives) 100% stating that the solution has always been the replacement of the turbo. ( I don't have the time to research this point).
To clarify something here: The turbos are from different manufacturers : Garrett and Mitsu on the 9/5.
Viggen and Aero owners have the Mitsubishi made turbo.
There are successful fixes to the "smoke" problem.
1.) Software upgrade
2.) Drilling ( as previously mentioned in this post)
3.) Turbo replacement
It's difficult to make a "blanket statement" here as to the precise "fix" on a mere BB alone. Perscription without diagnosis is akin to malpractice.
Our dealership looks at each complaint on a case-by-case basis. Some times 2 items on the list are in need of correction (ie, software and turbo replacement).
