I'm picking up a 900 with a bad turbo. (How bad is it? It's spitting oil out of the seam to the wastegate assembly. When I floor it, I hear what i assume are the turbine blades rubbing against the housing.) The thing leaves a trail of grey smoke like a reaver's ship leaves a trail of black smoke (for those who remember Firefly.)
Any ideas on how far I can drive it without having the cat overheat from all of those extra hydrocarbons? It's about 15 miles from my house.
