    Ah good yep, I am hoping its just a dodgy turbo but would figure oil burning in the exhaust would be blue and not white/grey... it certainly smells like diesel as well, not definitely oil.

    Seems to have a more bluish tinge to me than other videos I've seen of white smoke but it's all academic on my part

    Start again

    Wind your injector pump back a bit, then reduce the boost to standard and try again.

    There is excessive fuel is being delivered before the turbo had a chance to be spooled up.

    I had a similar smoke situation with my 300tdi. Turbo failed and oil passing through the turbo made this same coloured smoke, oil which has hit a hot surface like the turbine housing will cause a white smoke unlike when oil is carried in smaller particles through the exhaust gas and comes out blue. Try a good 2nd hand turbo and see if that sorts out the issue. You should be able to pick a turbo/ manifold for 300.

    Cheers

    Tell you what... I am as happy as a pig in the proverbial

    I removed the top Banjo bolt and hung it off, still attached to the turbo. Then using the old line with converters to 1/4 line attached the air compressor and bolted it up to the top of the turbo.

    With the oil cap off and the cyclonic cleaner undone at the intake I pumped 120PSI through it for a few seconds and it came out of the oil cap... so up through the oil gallaries?

    I closed of the oil cap and did it again, this time it came out of the cyclonic cleaner as expected - all good. I blocked that off and moved to step 3...

    With both pressure outlets plugged leaving only the oil delivery line hanging off the block as the only release, I repeated the air compressor... nothing...

    3 good supplies of air later (and a careless disregard for any and all seals in the engine ) the oil feed line exploded into a geyser of engine oil!

    Whacked it all back together, checked over the engine and degreased, checked again at idle then did a quick run down the street.

    No smoke !!!!

    A 20 minute run on the highway getting the EGT's up to 550 and the exhaust is now free of oil residue and a healthy grey/black color

    Tomorrow will be an oil flush and filter change......................
