i wish i had a digital camera, everything seems to be nicely in its place, it's also a brand new turbo and i heard that something could be blocking the oil drain, i gota say that i had to rotate the the turbine housing by loosing the bolts to have the oil drain down. other than that everything looks good

where did u get the turbo from? What kind of fuel managment are you running?

Was it a lot of oil on the compressor side or just a little bit?

test to see if your gettin oil from the feed line..

a turbo doesn't start spinning as soon as you start your engine. Some snails do and some don't, determines on the size and other things.

this is also true, i kinda thought he would already know this.

oil spitting out....my only thought would be that there is an oil blockage somewhere. you have your return pointing down, with no kinks correct, it doesnt flow down then up then back down...into your pan.

also, is there acuall oil or just smoke? if its just smoke...dont worry about it. it is just the residue burning off the turbo. no biggie.

the oil appears to flow out on the same rate as it goes in so yeah its quite a bit, i have the feeling of the return line been kinked but it's aeroquip steelhose with the fancy fittings and all that crap, i purged the turbo quite good before starting the car i let almost a full quart to drip down, im runninng a chipped p06 from xenocron with a basemap and im taping from just above the oil filter oil drain goes to the side and then down to oil pan it's definetely not a gravity drain lol, but anyways im gonna unplug the drain and try to blow on it, man i really feel miserable
