yea so its not quite blown yet but its smoking when i shift at wot


its def on its way out this makes blown turbo number 2....so im rebuilding both turbos and putting one on and the other for sale or spare

 

do it asap if it is a blown turbo, the longer it goes the more damage can be done to the wheels!!!

 

yea i know i havent been driving it much and its just the seals there absolutely not play

 

it can even if its just blown seals. oil on the hot side will burn and turn into little lumps of hard carbon that will grind away at the bearings and clog up the oil passages.

 

oh yes you right ....true stuff ..good thing im rebuilding the one in my garage first

 

You still want my spare CC?

 

hey thanks for the offe3r but me n my girlfriends decided its best right now to try n rebuild it this way no having to worry bout sizing turbo correctly so i dont needa retune

 

pimp!! lol

 

You sure it's not your piston rings? Cause that's what was happening to me and I had 3 cracked pistons and all burnt rings. The car still drove perfect but on wot it was a smoker

 

lol yea not my rings 37k im sureime fine plus i saw oil in my charge pipe so yea... lol and i dont smoke on wot i smoke only when upshifting


still boost fine for now...i just got ____ed at my gf and did a nic elong 2nd gear burnout infront of her house bouncing off revlimit my stock clutch was not loving that lol i had smoke everywhere clutch and tires

 

That makes sense. Good luck with the rebuild.

 

a reply is so tempting..
im gonna keep this here and edit later

 

mileage doesnt mean anything lol. i was on 32k when mines went bye bye. but then again i beat the hell out of the car

 

ebay turbo FTL!!!

 

didn't you "rebuild" or sent this turbo out to get "rebuilt" with better parts or something like that?

cheap ebay turbo's are really not good for anything but paper weights.

 

Well if both turbos do not have any shaft play and there is oil in the charge pipes then I would make sure you are not having an over oiling issue. Just something to look into since you are going through multiple turbos.

 

funny cuz i had garrett internals...

yea it was sent to blaast performance to get built with garrett parts... this wasnt the reason it went on me...i just noticed that my oil return lineright before the oil pan dip down lower than the fitting which means oil is puddling and not going straight down to the pan, must have happened when i re sealed the oil pan 2 or 3 weeks ago

no it was because my oil return... and the first turbo blew like 2 years ago after just 5 hours of driving that turbo was renderred useless...the shaft broke

the one sitting in my garage was from the previous owener of my kit he sent 2 turbos 1 blown and one used
