Default bad turbo = bad injector?

I was questioning if a bad turbo would cause an injector to go bad. The dealer seems to think so. I have gone thru 3 injectors in the past month. No mods and still stock.I get white smoke and bad idle. When I replace the injector, it runs fine for about a week. But then it goes back to bad idle and w. smoke. Could this possibly be the effects of a bad turbo?

i wouldnt think so. If your burning injectors up i would think that it is something electrical. If they say it is the turbo then tell to replace it i wouldnt be going back to the dealer every week

white smoke is a gasket, probably the head gasket. if you had a bad turbo you would most likely be seeing blue smoke.

explain the symptoms sepcifically and what the dealer has told you they've done and why and we can try to help from there.

the dealer tell me its a bad turbo and needs to be replaced (not under warranty) so there out as far as I am concerned. If it were a head gasket why would it run good the week in between replacing the fuel injectors. I would imagine that it would run bad all the time, right? Just throwing this out there, but could it be the PCM.

why did they say that the turbo needs to be replaced? give us specifics as to what the car is doing and what the symptoms are.
