Turbo Puking Oil....
Damn... it seams that when it isnt one thing going wrong... its the other..... i reinstalled the turbo onto my car.. but noticed there was a little bit of oil comming out of it from the exhaust housing. I thought it was from the oil left in the oil feed line, since i stored it in a box, and thought that it drained into it. well i cleaned it off and reinstalled the turbo. I started it up and it starts to shoot out white smoke... no biggie i thought (wrong!!!) it kept shooting out white smoke... and then it stoped so i figure, lets go for a drive. well i drove it and even more smoke came out. damn... something is wrong. well i figure the seals or gaskets must be fried or something... damn... rebuild time...!!!!
I found it strange that it worked good one day and then a week later its puking oil... oh well... Im getting a rebuild kit from a local turbo shop
has anyone ever heard of Turbocity.com
wish me luck

Re:Turbo Puking Oil....
I was taking it apart and just noticed something... that the oil return line was pinched on a bracket from the engine? would this have anything to do with the turbo puking out oil from what i recently noted is both sides, (exhaust and compressor ) rather than the seals beeing fucked up? or would this contribute to their demise

Re:Turbo Puking Oil....
i just finished removing the turbo off the car... and when flipped it upside down... a ---- load of oil came out of the exhaust inlet... and i mean a ---- load...so i know something had to have fucked up, the compressor blades are not scratching on anything. and it still spins freely.... im gonna take it to that one shop and see what they tell me... im pretty sure there gonna want to sell me a complete cartridge for it... or at least a rebuild kit... but lets hope they give me an honest answer... but now that im thinking. it would be a good idea to rebuild it, as it would improve efficiency and reliability ... am I right
