Does it smoke like hell? If not I wouldn't worry about it.

Re:Oil Pressure!

Is there dark black smoke coming out of the exhaust? Too much oil pressure to the turbo can lead to premature failure of the oil seals in the turbo. It doesn't need a whole lot of pressure, just enough to supply oil.

Re:Oil Pressure!

i don't think so but what psi should my turbo get for oil?? also how about those "buy it" kits that you buy for 2 grand (ie. greddy or drag) don't those just run off the sending oil unit?

Re:Oil Pressure!

Those kits come with the right size -4 oil line that would drop the pressure enough so that it wouldn't wear the seals down. They are also NEW turbos in the kits.

Re:Oil Pressure!

so should i buy the -4an oil line or just get the flipper valve or whatever the reduces the oil pressure

and how would u know the pressure goes down.. i got a oil pressure gauage but it attaches to the block, not after the valve if i'm going to put one..

Re:Oil Pressure!

I would just get the -4 line and not worry about it. If it smokes than I guess you will need a valve thingy ma-bobber. I haven't had any problems with my -4.

Het SpecialFX what size line is that you are running?
