So ever since I put on my turbo charger I've been noticing a few strange things.
1. Before anything, I noticed a somewhat strange smell coming from my car. I believe that it's coming from the exhaust. 2. Sometimes (but not all the time, which is strange) I'll boost to like 5 psi and i get a ton of smoking coming out of my exhaust for about 3 seconds after the boosting, then it stops. Some things to consider- My oil return line could be straiter down than it is... I'd say it’s at about 20 degrees off from strait down... Also, the return line is about 1/2 inch, which I hear is small for a return line. The smell from the car could very well be oil, but it's hard to tell. Also, I've never had my car dyno tuned (yet, I'm waiting until I get on my BTM). Otherwise, the car seems to run fine. Could this be something more serious like a piston ring? Or do I just need to tune it, or straiten out my oil line? Where should I go with this? Ideas?? Please help, thanks. |

Please help, thanks. 2 things. #1: GET A BIGGER RETURN LINE. it needs to be at LEAST -10an (5/8), perferably -12an (3/4) #2: what size is your feed line? and are you using a restrictor? -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
