My turbo kit...
 
I have been working on a turbo kit for my 93 mirage for the longest time. The problem i have run into is that the oil feed line is running too much pressure into the turbo housing and its blowing by the exhaust fan and out the downpipe. Im using a TD04 in this setup. I was wondering if there is any turbos out there that can take high pressure oil in the lines? Tell me what you think? This is the only thing holding me back from making this work >:(

Use a needle valve to turn down the pressure.... you can get one from Ace True value hardware stores for like 5-6$

these really work...

worked for me on my last kit... it was smoking a little then i poped the valve in there... from when its open to fully closed it takes 10 turns.... i turned mine 5 turns about half way... and it stoped the smoke....

Just make sure you are still flowing oil to the turbo. It wouldn't be a good thing to starve the turbo for oil. Maybe take the drain off and start the car to see if it's flowing.
