Damn it, Im really starting to hate turbos but boost is so ------- addictive... ---- BEANS. Ive had nothing but probs(little ones, but still) since Ive been boosted. My Car is still smoking. I finally put a needle valve on and still.... It doesnt smoke like a ----- at idle NE more but when its cold or when Im at full throttle/Boost it still puffs a lil bit. I cant see it out of the rear window but other behind me can see it. Theres still oil dripping through were my catty and DP meet and there a lil drip of oil in the compresor intake. Should I turn the oil presure down even more? I dont have a gauge so Im not sure of my oil PSI. Im just eye balling the flow w/ my return line dissconnected. Also Ive notice that durning the mornings when its cooler Im boosting 5 and during the afternoon my car drops to 3? WTF? Is this cuse the air is denser Is my gauge just fuckt ...Moving on.... Is it normal for your boost gauge to jump 1-2 PSI when shifting? My gauge sits 1+ pound off. Please tell me it the gauge and not surge. Some give me some answers....

 

sounds like surge to me. yes temperature changes can cause boost changes. happens to me all the time with the internal wastegate. adn with all the oil leaks your describing it sould like a fucked turbo. just get it rebuilt,
