$30k restoration? Nope...never. You can buy a new/rebuilt one for less. Blowing oil out of the tailpipe usually means o-ring failure in the turbo pedestal, but there are other failures. Possibly injector o-rings with the vibration, but there is much diagnostic work to do first. Have you run the KOEO and KOER tests that Forscan can do?
Repair or Restore?
