If you cannot see any splits in the pipes a stone could have holed it, dont run it until you get it checked

I would get it down to the dealers. 40k is well within warranty.

I think if the turbo was f***ed you would be seeing loads of black smoke out back.

There is always some oil in the inter-cooler its caused by the turbo seals leaking if you have loads you need a new turbo before it goes big time

Over the years I have had countless disagreements with folks on here about the non LTI WAVs. I have always said they are fine for the job.

However I was wrong, none of the conversions are up to a lifetime of WAV/multi-seater/taxi work, 3-4 years at very best.

No matter how many times the reps say different.

Get it repaired and then get rid of it...............they are notorious for turbo problems.
