potential turbo replacement

ok im not sure if my unobservant self has missed a thread already dedicated to this but i have an issue with the hot side of the turbo inlet hose. it keeps coming loose and it feels like oil has made its way into the coupling. after talking to a few people i think it may be caused by the spindle in the turbo making it leak oil. and also i was told by a friend that there was smoke, not soot, coming from my tailpipe from a cold start. if anyone has any ideas id be glad to hear it and if any one knows where to find an oem turbo to replace it let me know. id like to avoid the dealership if at all possible.

also, if i go with a JCW turbo for my 08 MCS will i have to tune itor will it bolt up without potential for major problems?

Thanks much

I think you are in the wrong section of nam. This is for Gen 1 and you need Gen 2.
