hey what's up i am burnin oil at around 4k rpm. i purchased the sts oil restrictor and i thought that that would solve the problem but it only helped alittle bit. could my turbo seals be blown. i drove the car for about 5 days without the oil restrictor.

Yes. It needs rebuilt. I've heard mixed results from the DIY rebuild kits. I'd suggest having it done just in case the bearing housing needs to be machined or if the rotating assembly needs to be balanced. Plus most places offer some sort of warranty. Call up ATSRacing and see what they can do for you.
