So I've been trying to get my car running for a while now after an aborted swap from my local shop. Finally got it to a point where I could test fire the engine at least today. Well, guess what idiot forgot to remove the tape from the turbo inlet that was protecting it from metal shavings while I put in hood latches, THIS GUY!!! So here are the results of that test fire, and a pic of some sort of fluid coming up out of said turbo also, which I need help identifying.

Looks like motor oil, which with my very limited knowledge of turbos is the only liquid present in the turbocharger. Good luck with it.

Right, but I'm not sure it should be blowing out like that. It was pretty "dewy" here this morning so I'm hoping it was condensation. More concerned about the tape it might have sucked in. Any thoughts? |
