Default turbo Whines and Screams... Just rebuilt the turbo

hey guys, i just rebuilt my te04h turbo, new seals, new bearings everything, it was sexy how little the shaft play was.... but stuck her back in today, let it warm up like usual. took it out ( the car was smoking alot becuse my assumptionw as i had no oil restrictor) reason for rebuild in the first place.... so i go and i givver, no boost, just screems, it sounds like ther is something in my engine bay screming, its not spooling, i know what spooling sounds like.... the turbo worked fine before the rebuild, its just that it smoked too much.... anybdoy know the solution?

Its still smoking you said?

My guess is loose charge pipe and I dunno what to say about the noise, you describe it poorly

i kno the smoke is due to oil, im pretty sure this will be a simple fix with an oil restrictor, however, it does not boost, and its not the piping, the sound is described as a "loud sewing machine."

If YOU rebuilt it, you probably didn't balance it so the sewing machine noise is probably the wheel scraping the housing. Just a guess.

If the car is just screaming, maybe the wastegate is stuck open.

compressor wheel is tight, as soon as it starts hitting near boost, it starts up, she spools up, blows off, but it doesnt make boost, and once it starts getting clsoe she scerams, im 100% sure its not my charge piping...

So when she gets close, she screams? That's called an orgasm, laddy.

The turbo wheel is rubbing. Check your housing for scraps.
