#916 started blowing blue smoke last week; pretty sure it's from the turbo. Among other things, it has about a quarter inch in-and-out play in the shaft. I understand that is no good. My question: Do I get this rebuilt or replace it? I wouldn't mind a little quicker spool-up. Is there a better turbo that is a direct replacement that fits under the heat shield. My mechanical abilities are limited, so I don't want to be cutting, welding, or fabricating anything. Car is mostly stock with K&N, TT 92 octane chip, and a test pipe. Car started to smoke right after test pipe was installed.
Thanks for any advice,
Jim
