manifold leak???

this is my first turbo setup and i've looked at a bunch of different sites and i can't find anything, but anyway i have a t25 on an hf manifold, it recently started smoking, and i also found an exhaust leak where the turbo meets the adapter plate, is this causing my turbo to smoke

Re: manifold leak???

sounds like your turbo oil seals are pooping. Are you running a restrictor on the oil feed??

Take it from me, you need an oil restrictor of some sort! wheather it's a proper restrictor or an adjustable one (needle valve) you need a restrictor!!!

Re: manifold leak???

no i'm not using a gasket and i know i should have used one to mount the turbo on the manifold and adapter plate. and thanks for your answers i'll be buying a restrictor of some sort.
