Okay so I originally turbod my car and found my turbo had bad seals and caused my car to smoke severely, I drove it around like that for a month or two until I got money for a new Garrett, I put on the new turbo and the car is still smoking pretty significantly I was told that it is probably from all the oil built up in my exhaust and manifold and everything. You can see that there is a lot of oil caked onto the exhaust tip and so I'm figuring that it has to be smoking from all the oil it was burning which id say was around 3qts total until I got the new turbo. I just really would like a second opinion before I spend a lot of money on another tune.

 

could be a defective turbo. or a bad head gasket or bad valve seats. when is it smoking? only under acceleration? only under decel? only when in boost? lots of things man we need more info.

 

It will usually smoke after I hit boost but also smokes sometimes after I shift but when I'm not hitting boost

 

Let me rephrase it only smokes when I shift when It does when I'm not in boost you can still hear the bov so it's spooling but the gauge says is still in vac. But it only seems to smoke when I shift.

 

yeah def need more info man. i had the same issue, this may not be a resoultion for u, but i took all my ic pipes off and degreased them, then i did a fuel induction service to clean out any oil that may have built up in the intake mani, and runners. it seemed to help me out. again im not sayin that this may help in ur case. but we def need some more info.

 

Alright what all do you guys need to know I'd type up the whole story if I wasn't on my phone lol

 

how long has the new turbo been on? is there a lot of oil in your charge pipes? a little bit is okay but a lot isnt. you will know if it's a lot. you are probably smoking under boost as well just can't see it.

 

also are there any kinks in ur return line? make sure its nice and straight otherwise oil can back up and push passed the seals.

 

good catch. can't believe i didn't mention this since it's what killed my first turbo.

 

happens to the best of us broham. lol

 

I'm doing an oil change in a few imma check the oil lines to make sure everything's good

 

check the ic pipes too man.

 

can we get a few engine bay pics and also have you done a comp test?

 

I haven't done a compression test yet and I'll uploads pics of the engine bay when I get home later

 

Okay so there in oil in the hot side intercooler piping and the some on the bottom inside the intercooler, what should my next step be?

 

Also there are no kinks in any of the oil lines

 

how much oil? if it's a lot? blown seals on your turbo as long as it isnt residual from the last one. how long has this new turbo been on the car?

 

The turbo is brand new from Garrett and is just residue of oil it not a lot so I'm thinking it's left behind from the old turbo were going to take all the piping off and use some sort of degreaser to get it out any suggestions of how to get the oil out besides that?

 

The new turbo has been on for 3 days btw

 

Are you running lean at all? You could of cooked it if you are running lean or aren't letting it cool off or both. Id do a comp test next. I doubt the turbo died. Garrett makes a durable turbo
