Re:Just rebuilt Turbo still having problems

ok...i'll try the compression test...is there anything else that anyone can think of, someone told me to put 15w50 oil in my car, will this work, my car recomends 5w30...big difference.

Re:Just rebuilt Turbo still having problems

your stock motor reccomends 5-W30. You have to remember your putting a shitload more heat into it compared to stock

Re:Just rebuilt Turbo still having problems

I installed a needle valve type deal on my inline and damn-pressure was around 75 psi- I dropped it down to 45 psi

later when I rechecked it it seemed to drop down to 20 psi when at idle-
