  The turbo is from at 30k mile car so it should have had time to break in.  I am not getting any dripping, but just a slightly oily residue in the pipe that I mostly attribute to the 2-stroke oil.  The smoke is a little more than a cigar would make, but I puff on the cigar if I pull the engine through a few times.

This is reassuring, Marv.  Though I will have a low treshold to send in the turbo for an overhaul.

Thanks,
Dave Leonard
