clock your turbo so the ---- flows downhill. and dont bite your fingernails after you whipe your ***.

i will try my best, and no aint a garrret or a greddy turbo it's just an egay unknown mexican turbo , apparently a rebuilt or remanufactured one, quality is actually good from the outside who know whats going on inside, today i took a peek on the oil drain i can almost swear that's the problem, perhaps i think this way to make me feel ok lol i will find out as soon as i have time to get down there, and yeah the turbo did spin after a bit of throttle i did not boost but there was good vaccum at idle. i also noticed the oxigen sensor its still on the old manifold :1 lol would that cause the check engine light to come on??

i might get a decent enough digital camera this friday and post pics of my ghetto setup

did anyone mention that you might wanna make sure that your return line takes the oil into the pan above the level of the oil. Otherwise the oil isnt gunna go out too well.

to me it sounds like the turbo. could be the drain as well, but as you said its a ghetto turbo off eghay, which was SUPPOSEDLY rebuilt of remanufactured. sell it on eghay and get whatever you can for it, and try buyin another turbo. (if fixing the oil return doesnt work)

somethin you could do to check that the oil drain is higher than the oil, is take off the pan, and put as many quarts of water as you would oil in the pan, and make sure the hole you drilled is higher than the level.

hope you get it runnin right, dont get too frustrated.

today i took try blewing thru the drain pipe and it's impossible it's clogged for sure i feel much better now the oil drain its at the highest i could mount it in the oil pan but the hose had a rough turn and was kinked bad :1 now all i have to do is cut the hose so it goes straight down and pray, i realy hope its not the turbo. i'm still shopping for cameras and i was gonna buy one but i ended up replacing the oxygen sensor wich is 80 bux at autozone that ruined the whole dang thing, i will get one friday for sure as soon as i get paid

You could always use a regular camera and have them developed and put on CD.

Good luck with the build. Sounds like you're getting things worked out.
