What should I do?
I lately asked about ideas of why im not boosting 10psi istead more like 2 of 3 pounds. Ive checked the wastegate and everything and I've come to the conclusion its just time to get another turbo. It leaks oil anyways. Basically should i just get another t3 a/r .42 or is there another turbo witht the same side style exhaust 3 bolt flange? If so which one. And would the present one be worth upgrading? All input appreciated.

If its leaking oil its trash anyway. Get rid of it or rebuild it. If you would have included what turbo you are running I could help you out on which turbo's will have the same flange. Did you already check all the coupler's/ welds. What do you have for exhaust? Did you look at the BOV?

I was the thinking the same thing. As far as the wastegate and actuator suggestion I've tested the actuator and the flap is tightly appling pressure to the opening for the exhaust thats why I ruled that out. As far as the type of turbo is , It is a t3 .42trim off a saab. The exhaust is 21/4 w/a nonrestrictive magnaflow in the back. As far as the oil problem it can get to the point where is "bubbles" out of the exhaust housing. Smokes like biatch. It just seems that the exhaust is not turnig the wheel fast enough. Took off the exhaust and it sounds n/a with open header and no whining even when reved up. All couplers and intercooler have been checked. Where would i get an upgrade , how much , and what results would it yield? Sorry for the long-*** rant, and as always thanks for future input.
