I'm getting a puff of smoke when I start the car. Hot or cold doesn't seem to matter. In the absence of a turbo, I'd think the valve guides are worn, but I'm wondering if the turbo might be failing. I'm also getting a high-pitched whine related to engine speed. I'm guessing that might be the turbo as well.
If it is the turbo, can I just replace the cartridge? How much will that set me back? Can I wait a while or are my days numbered?
