my escort rs turbo does not work i was driving in second gear going quiet fast as i only just bought it, a load of smoke came out, the boost gauge stopped working and it smokes very badly now, does this mean the turbo as gone? i only bought it two days ago can anyone give me some advice please thanks dave

sounds like you've blown the turbo shaft oil seals, new turbo i'm afraid you will also have to remove the intercooler &clean it, as it & all the induction pipes will be contaminated with oil
