diesel Turbo charger

Hi. Scorpio fans. My baby 2.5 diesel ultimas engine dropped a valve and emptying my bank account I paid for a recon engine ,from the day I got it back the engine was a little noisy then days later a whistling began and engine was rattling. I took it back to garage as white smoke was coming from the exhaust and mechanic said my turbo has blown the swap engine up. I am heartbroken as I have to find £400/£500 for turbo as he will only use a recon or new one. Is this possible that my turbo(i'd never had problems with) could have ruined this engine. Being female I am a bit in the dark about these things. HELP PLEASE!

hi gilly
firstly if you need a new turbo £400.00 is quite expensive,try phoning a company called universal turbos,think they are bournemouth way,have used them on several occassions on previous cars,and never had a problem,but back to your question,IF the turbo was fine before the engine problems,i cant see why it should have a problem now,unless when the garage fitted it to the new engine,they did something wrong,(not bleeding it first,damaged the balance etc.etc.),and if the turbo was at fault before,i dont think this would of caused your engine problems,you would of noticed a significant loss in power,possibly smoke from the exhaust,and certainly a whistling noise,all of this is apparent now that the turbo does need reconditioning,but not before,i would advise a trip back to the garage,and see what they have got to say....
hope this makes some sense to you..
craig..
