Ill be looking for a turbo then too. lol. Compression is down on cylinder 3 so its probably a mixture of both turbo seals and the piston ringlands F*cked
Yeah i totally agree .. best of luck with dravens engine .. might need a new turbo too

it's a beautiful car so I will just get everything done at once.
Had lots of hybrids ... ct20b is best .. if you can get an uprated one even better ... hope i understood your question

Not if its a ct26 .. you can only have the compressor enlarged ..no bueno .. its the ct20b's turbine where the magic happens .. trust me ive had both
Bit counterintuitive but the ct20b actually has a smaller turbine .. just better flowing .

Yep , have it checked out and get back to enjoying your car mate .. it should not be blowing oil out the bov valve
Sorry for the confusion didnt read you were a rev4 ... silly me
