I went out and bought a new turbo. LOL 
I haven't had great luck with old turbo's 

[b20beast]

i sent it in by a pro to fix

stop calling yourself a pro, you don't need to a pro to send your turbo to a rebuilder.
Just because you put the turbo together and *rebuilt* it, doesn't mean it won't have problems. Rebuilding a turbo is usually not a DIY garage project.

can you not read

i sent mt turbo out to repair by a pro

[b20beast]

i got another bearing housing, cleaned everything up and it dont smoke on idle

i may need a restrictor becuz on high rpm it smokes

[That Guy]

going by all the things you said, you need to turbo the search engine before you turbo your engine. good luck

Your a fucking idiot. You put a freshly rebuilt turbo back on the same oil system and your back again to square one. fucking install a stealthmode restricter adapter and call it a fucking day

[b20beast]

im gonna make my own!

braze the fitting with brass and drill a hole!

[widebody93]

did you put a restrictor in?  sounds like a big NO

youre still an idiot

[b20beast]

haha i love it here!

[b20beast]

Ok
So i put on a 0.065" restrictor and it still smokes out the tail pipe!

[ratcityrex]

run no turbo at all and see if it still smokes

[b20beast]

it smokes very slight

drain wasnt too good, so i clocked turbo about 45* and let it drain downhill.


not sure why oil will leak with car off and thru the bolt.

When the car is on, it BURNS UP before it can make it outside the turbo. What did you think happened to oil when it dances with 800*F exhaust gasses??

Also, if the chra is more than 30* from vertical (centerline of inlet & outlet) then you will create a puddling effect inside the turbo. This is another reason it leaks profusely when its off, although its very bad for the turbo while its running too. You can blow oil seals in under 5 mins with JUST a crappy drain, no restrictor, or having the turbo off-center. You ran it with 3 out of 3. BTW putting a restrictor in it now won't do shit, the seals are fucked and only a rebuild will fix that.


Learn how to use a turbo next time, thanks for playing. 

[b20beast]

isnt it just like a piston ring?
