Hey I was just wondering your opinion on my problem. every time i put a turbo on my car the turbo seams like it comes out of balance and hits the side of the housing and stops. I have an interga type r oil pump and my friend and I think it might be too much oil pressure. the thing that gets me is it doesnt burn any oil before or after it breaks, and my car idles at like 650 to 750 rpms, I know thats low but the oil light comes on when it idles. I herd that the light comes on at like 15psi, the stock gauge is like half way up my feed line so maybe it takes time to fill the line. my return line is perfict. Any help would be great thanks.

Did you try using a valve to slow the feed down?

What brand are these turbos you are blowing?

Im going to put an oil pressure gauge on it today and see what the psi is at and go from there, oh it was two turbonetics t3\t4's and a t3 turbocoupe turbo I had laying around. I post again with what i saw on the gauge. Thanks for helping. Where might I find a needle valve?

what size is the oil feed line? I dont think too much oil can cause a turbo to seize.

RENR

might be that oil pump. if it was too much presure you wouldnt get a light and you'd probably start burning oil out the seals first. a turbo wont last five miles without oil mang.check to see theres nothing blocking the line before the pressure gauge. take it out and clean it.

actually, my first ihi lasted 24 miles withouit oil before i seized it and snapped the turbine shaft....

lol
whats a needle valve?

THRESHOLD

well the line i am using is a ss 3/8 line with a slow inline needle valve 120 psi lines and i dont have a problem with oil light .... maybe the oil pump is taking a ---- or like someone said the line might be clogged need to do a motor flush and check that line
