    We're do I start... Possible blown turbo or piston rings I will post pics soon as I can work it out

    List of car symptoms:

    White/blue smoke at idle (disappears when revved and not present whilst driving that I know of)

    Metallic rattle when on boost when pushed harder than day to day driving

    New turbo?

    New rings?

    Engine rebuild?

    Any help welcome thanks

    Also the car otherwise boost fine and doesn't seem down on power
