Turbo in- Oil spewing from DP
 

**The valve is installed and it didnt help. Its either the seals or the 90 deg bend**

New Pics-

90 degree bend off turbo.

Well my turbo is all in and I just started it today. Alot of grey smoke came from the DP and after about 45 seconds of idling oil started coming from the DP. It doesnt drip, but is propelled out instead. Here are pics-

This is the oil that came out from about a minute and thirty seconds of idling.

And here are pics of the return line, I have been reading that can cause smoking.

Any idea what could be wrong?

Re:Turbo in- Oil spewing from DP
 

sounds like bad turbo seals. might be time for a new one.

my oil return is a lot worse than that...i really need to cut it so it flows better.

Re:Turbo in- Oil spewing from DP
 

yeah you need new seals bro

Re:Turbo in- Oil spewing from DP
 

Well, the turbo had zero shaft play in any direction, spun freely, and my charge pipes are squeaky clean.

Re:Turbo in- Oil spewing from DP
 

thats because its leaking out of the exhaust side not the compressor side

Re:Turbo in- Oil spewing from DP
 

----, I just cant imagine that its the seals. Dont shaft play and blown seals usually come hand in hand? Is there any other way to tell if it has blown seals? I paid a decent amount for the turbo. I bought it from a very reputable person on ebay who said it was in mint condition. Then a good friend of mine who is into DSMs said the turbo was the nicest he had ever seen. It just doesn't add up.

What is the oil pressure? If it's over about 60 or so, it's too much for good seals and will cause those kinds of issues. Check that and put in a restrictor/needle valve and see if it helps.

try what he said just dont starve the turbo of its precious oil ;D

Re:Turbo in- Oil spewing from DP
 

I dunno what the oil pressure is. Can I find an oil pressure gauge at Autozone or Discount? And where can I find one of those check valves if thats the case?

Re:Turbo in- Oil spewing from DP
 

Ohh, I also had to use a GSR oil cooler in order to get the feed fitting to work. I suppose that could have effected the oil pressure. Did I harm the turbo letting it idle with that high pressure? It probably idled for 4 mins.
