k so i thought it was my turbo's fault the first time i was burning oil cuz when i took it off and ran stock, i didnt get any smoke. after getting the turbo rebuilt, it fixed the oil leak problem, but it was smoking again. turns out the added pressure is letting oil get past the seals onto the stems and burning out the back. and its really bad too. i added some "no smoke + stop leak" stuff, and it helps on the low end, but when i really punch it, i still get A LOT of smoke. i mean it clears the freeway about 50 feet behind me.
so my question is, has anyone replaced theirs or gotten it replaced?? i need to get this done asap because its really starting to bug me. plus its deterring me from boosting because i can never go full throttle. if anyone has had this done, how much did it cost for either DIY or for a mechanic to do it, what parts will i need, and where can i find those parts. thank you -------------------- ![]() |

i never had any smoke while N/A. and it doesn't smoke if i drive normally and not accelerate quickly. but as soon as i get positive psi on the boost gauge, i get smoke out the back.
the oil return is definately bigger than the feed line. if i hook up the crankcase pcv hole to a catch can, then to the intake before the turbo, will it have any vacuum at all since the intake is to the open atmosphere?? and i still cap off the intake manifold side where the pcv hose went to, correct?? |
