Just Finished T3 B18C1 SMOKING
Just finished up my Delsol B18c1 turbo project. I am running a T3 .48/.60 turbo at about 5psi. I used a copper oil feed and a huge oil return line and it is smoke when i come to a stop. My oil pressure gets up to about 61psi when i am on the gas. There is oil in the charge pipes from the turbo. The turbo is brand new and the question i had is can i just replace the oil seal going into the charge side? And if so where can i find one?
thanks for the help

60psi is alot for a turbo.
to function at WOT a turbo only really needs about 10-20psi. and the seals are not meant to be hit with 60psi. some survive some dont. spend your money on a needle valve

Just dont do what I did, I turned the pressure down too low and kill the turbo, no more boost until I get a replacent. I did not use a guage, now I cant drive higher than 5000rpm,air starvation.
