Default Need help with Turbonetics turbo kit

I have a Turbonetics kit with the Turbonetics T60-1 turbo on my 2003 touring 350z. I has started to blow, white smoke really bad, thought it was a bad turbo, removed the turbo and discovered a bunch of oil pooled in the coupler. Has anyone had this issue before? Can I replace the turbonetics with a precision turbo, if so which one should I go with?

white smoke means coolant in combustion - ie cracked block and/or blown head, oil in your turbo coupler means blown seal.

time to pull/rebuild the block and have your turbo rebuilt/replaced…

how did this happen?

Not sure how it happened, but turbo has been sent out, looks likes it's time to rebuild the motor/heads.. Thanks for the help.
