Compression is good across all cylinders, 320+psi measured cold, and it is running. All done with the short block in the car and <$200. That is all I spent.

The problem is that it smokes a bit and the exhaust smell terrible and irritating to eyes. I suspect the turbo was damaged and is burning oil. The car was driven for about 1/2 miles after the chain snapped and no oil pressure to engine/turbo. Engine seized because I did not notice there was no oil pressure.

Is it possible that turbo was damaged under this scenario? I am going to get an used turbo to try out. Any comments?
