[urq] Maybe switching to a K24

All,

 I finally have my quattro up and running. She is making full 1.8 bar boost and running incredible. However, when I'm making boost - 1.5 bar and up - she starts smoking heavily out the back. At first I thought it was just an old seal on the oil filler cap as alot of oil was pulling out onto the manifolds. Once I fixed that it was still blowing smoke under boost. I'm guessing now my turbo has a bad seal.

The bummer about this is I paid $600 in 1998 to have a Colorado company rebuild my factory K26 and I've only put about 3500 miles on the car since. It seems as we fix each thing on my car the next weakest link in the chain fails. I think further investigation is needed to make certain it's the turbo seals. 

If I have to pull the turbo again, I may as well switch over to the water jacketed K24 and use Dede's converstion kit. Otherwise the car runs great.
