Turbo is going in the astra, so was checking out AOC for the parts needed, and found this video:

Pretty damn useful, but I cant help think slightly sad, recording yourself working on a car

What a nerd. I wasted 9 minutes of my life watching that, I bet he wasted 9 days+ just filming himself and editting it for the sake of YouTube.

The way the weather is just now, I think I will be doing it in the snow
Im not entirely sure if it is my turbo now, yes, theres a fair bit of oil in the power pipe and coming out the dump valve, but it doesnt seem to smoke on boost?
Startup video shows more white smoke than anything
Cold startup :
After being warmed up:

How come nothing snapped, broke, or was missing?
And he remembered to plug everything back in?
Pfft.
