Would it be possible to disconnect the Turbo both electrically and mechanically so its not used. Its emitting oil into the exhaust due to bad internal seals and smokin up a storm when I come to a light. When I get the funds ($275) I will remove and send out for overhaul. In the eantime I have to use the car.Any input will be appreciated. Rob

Are you sure the turbo is the cause...My car was smoking and that was the first thing I thought.  Turned out to be my injectors...who'd a thought.  Pull the hose off the intake (after the turbo) and see if it still smokes.  I don't want tell you what to do...but you got to check the little things before you go pulling the turbo and all that.  Its a b!tch...I've had mine off more than once.

Also, check the oil return line.

Pulling off the intake isn't conclusive. the turbo can leak (and typically does) throught the exhaust housing.
