Description of the problem	The vehicles turbo failed and destroyed the engine. The turbo and engine were all factory original. I replaced the part that i thought was causing problems with the engine and turned the car on and black smoke came out off the exhaust. According to the mechanic shop i took it to the oil union bolts are the cause of the problem to starving oil to the turbo and then the turbo fails. I think it is unclear that these engines have a major flaw in them. Most people have these problems way before the 100,000 miles on the odometer mark. I would need a completely new engine for the vehicle. I did oil changes every 3000 miles and did the recommended services at each time or mileage intervals.
