leaking turbo

[73mango]

wutz up guys! i'm new to the site and i have a msp and i'm having a problem with my turbo. my car is leaking oil through the blow off valve and also on the bottom of the intercooler. i just purchased a t28rs in hopes that it will fix the problem. i'm just curious if anyone had this problem, i took the turbo out and in the exhaust side there is no oil only on the intake side. can anyone here give me some tips??

ouchies.... that SUCKS...

sounds like you blew a seal on the intake side. Is there any shaft play with the turbo?

You already bought the GT28RS though?

my car also blew oil out of the bov >>>it ended up being 3 cracked pistons so yeah it cost me like 2 grand ..hopefully urs aint that bad.

yeah i already bought the t28 and i hope this car doesnt have some crack pistons. hey did your have oil in the manifold or not?

dude my car had oil inside the fmi,the bov spit oil evrywhre.Have you checked compresion yet?

[73mango]

nah not yet gonna do that tomorrow actually. but the car feels really strong and it doesnt seem like it has lost any power. it idles funny, like the entire car raddles.

Rattling at idle - does the car stumble? or just rattle the car? if its just rattling the car, its usually either a bad stock motor mount, or a really stiff aftermarket one.

what are all the mods you have for the car?

well my also ran stromg for like 4 weeks before it started to smke,and it did idle funny with lots of raddle

the car acts like it wants to die. the idle fluctuates from 750 to as low as 100. i have a fmic on the car but no pipings done yet cause i'm waiting for my new turbo, boost controler, turbo timer air intake system and palnning for a whole lot more stuff. if the car in fact has some bad pistons then ima go 20 over size 8.5.1 compression pistons, 264 and 252 cams, 550cc injectors,and much more.

thats kind of what i did..I had to because I likez boost and those pistons and rods werent made for that abuse.good luck .

[73mango]

thanks man!! we'll see what happens with this nightmare. hopefully compression is good and the new turbo fixes the problem if not its time to get serious and spend some dollars!!

[otmsp]

forged fer boost.
