well im running the dsm 14b and I was wondering why it seems like that there is an excess amount of oil in my turbo and if this is the cause of the white smoke i'm seeing off and on. anyone know my problem? thanks

you need a oil restrictor, and we need some ****.

So are 14bs ball bearing turbos? i know its a noob question but i heard its not to good to put an oil restricter on a turbo if its not ball bearing? any other ideas that might help me out? i was thinking about just trying to buy a new 14b or stepping it up some an getting a t3 super 60? what do you guys think

kamilk69

im 99.5% sure that 14b's arent ball bearing,

and wheres my **** noob

14b's are a normal sleeve journal bearing, but are supposed to have 360* thrust bearings.

so what your saying is a restricter wouldn be such a bad idea?

Slo_crx1

A restrictor would be a very good idea. I run one on all my turbos, including 14b's. Take into account a 14b was supplied oil from the head of the 4g63t's where they never saw over 45psi of oil pressure (according to dsm'rs), not to mention they had a thin line running to them stock.

im doubting it needs a restrictor, how many miles are on this turbo?
is this oil also in your intake tubes after the turbo?
if so your turbo needs a rebuild.
