yup sound like your turbo( what color is the smoke) it should hold up for a few thousand miles before it quits!

I had the same problem, #2 turbo.The plugs will need to be changed too. Is your car still under warranty? Alex 93 tt-6spd hardtop

Randy what makes u think that your car is not under warrenty. Toyota typically has 3yrs/36,000 miles comprehensive and 5 yrs/60,000 miles engine & powertrain warrenty. I would suggest just call toyota and make sure that tubos r covered and then remove all the bolt on's even the intake and the exhaust and simply go to the dealer and put your case up

Hope fully things would work out.
regards. Yasir
