Hi. It sounds like the turbo seals to me too. You cannot bolt any bigger turbos to the standard manifold as it is specially designed for that one. You would also need a mappable ECU to get the best out of any turbo upgrade. DP engineering do manifolds that would allow a T3 etc, also there are Turbo Technics ones that will fit too. Standard turbos are often very expensive new

you can put different compressor housings on the std tb25 turbo, i have made a hybrid allowing a quick spool and loads of flow! as you need to rebuild the turbo might be worth looking into!

why does it need mapped? If you stick under the ECU limit of 1bar the MAP sensor should accomodate the turbo ok no?

 

I had wild problems with smoking too mate, was the turbo. Got it rebuilt with a 360 bearing and uprated seals etc and it seems 100% now.
