STILL burning oil..
Well, my turbo is STILL burning oil...
I have a .055" or so restrictor on it, 1/2" return all down hill, and it is still burning..
Gettin kind of sick of this.. its a nissan 300z t3, and was rebuilt by blaast performance a while ago..
I am using 5w40 shell rotella t syn oil in it..
I can actually see the oil in between the center section and hotside..

Re: STILL burning oil..
There is a big cloud after a full throttle run.. a solid amount of smoke for about 5 seconds afterwards.. or while starting from sitting for a few..
I am gonna try moving the restrictor to the turbo side, it is on the T at the moment..
I know its not rings b/c my compression is 190/185/190/185, which is exactly at the factory spec... and the fact that oil is visible on the outside between the center section and the turbine housing lol..
It seemed to be a good rebuild, and a great price, but I dunno now

is it a particular seal/washer that is the culprit for the loss of oil on the turbine side? could I replace it myself if I marked the wheel location upon disassembly to not lose balance?

Re: STILL burning oil..
i've been having the exact same problems as you. oil restrictor, stealthmode oil lines, turbo leaking on the outside of the turbo, burning a -----ton of oil.... i rebuilt the turbo, and it was alright for like a week, then it started up again. i just assumed that the center cartraige was bad. i've tried everything else, so now i'm just gonna replace the center and wheels
