This isn't the first time this has occured. I put a new T3 cartridge in my Airesearch, and hooked everything back up today. After prepping the oil lines, turning over the engine, etc., I started the car. About 20-30 seconds after starting the engine, smoke began to come out of the turbo manifold. I let the car run, to see if this was just extra oil burning off, but it continued. After running for a while, the smoke cleared... Until I gave it some gas. As I slightly reved the engine, my friend noticed oil bubbling from: a) where the turbo connects to the manifold (not the housing end, other end, to downpipe) b) where the 4 pipes connect to the bottom part of the manifold.(the gasket probably is messed up there) What is the problem here?? the more I revved, the more smoke I got. Bolts not tight enough? Oil feed / return? PLEASE HELP! I'm desperate at this point, I haven't been able to drive my Integra since JANUARY!!! Thanks!!!!!!

 

make sure your oil drain line is 90 degrees. and big enough..

or it could be the seals.
