either way. you guys are right. Many if not 90% of the boosted cars on here run 10w30/5w50/5w30/10w50. There is a larger problem at hand and i fear that in the summer months you may experience the problem again.

well the oil seems to do fine and it still smoke on 5th when i let off the gas but before it was absolutle insane about of smoke, the oil return is facing straight down and oil pan tap is facing up slightly, i dont think its that at all i think its the oil pressue being to high, i may try getting that needle valve thing..i dont know yet...

Re:Rebuilt Turbo ...still smoking.. untill now!!!!!!
 

The needle vavle trick works.

Re:Rebuilt Turbo ...still smoking.. untill now!!!!!!

Dont feel alone guys, I got the same problem. I put in a needle valve it worked for a while, i tightened it up it work a while more, i ended up like 1 turn away from fully closed, now i can hear the frigging turbines scraping the housing so I parked it yesterday when i heard it. I found another t-25 but guy wants $200 for it. It is off a 99 gst show car. car has like 15k on it, he upgraded his turbo and everything, but then he trailers the car everywhere...I ask why? well its guys like this who make parts available to us right. anyway would it be cheaper to rebuild my turbo or just get another? I was thinking just get another one.

Re:Rebuilt Turbo ...still smoking.. untill now!!!!!!
 

some rebuild/repair kits are cheaper than others. all you can do is call around and see.

Re:Rebuilt Turbo ...still smoking.. untill now!!!!!!
 

just buy another, i payed $150 for my turbo, and the rebuild was $83
