so im running a 2006 tc with a zpi stage 0 and i havent had any problems untill now. last week i was checking my oil and i noticed that there was oil all over the transmission and some of the engine and i thought i blew a head gasket but i took off the intake pipe from the turbo and there was a very tiny amount of oil and the bottom of the turbo near the oil drain line is covered in oil... the exhuast doesnt smoke and there is no shaft play on the turbo.... does anyone have an idea of what might be wrong?

 

Check the oil return line and make sure the gasket is not worn and is fitted properly.
How long have you had the turbo?
You can run a catch can to be safe.
Post some pics of where the oil leaks from if you can.

 

thats what i was thinking and ive been running this kit for about 3000 miles and i bought it used and it had about 10000 miles on it and im just really hoping i dont have blown seals but everything works the way it should besides the whole oil thing lol

 

also there is some oil residue in the charge pipe but very little

 

seals on the 16g are probably wearing out. so a few questions are you puffing blue smoke? and does your PCV hook back up in to your intake or does it vent to atmosphere?

 

i havent knoticed but ill see if it is tomorrow and idn what the POV is....its what ever stock is and would any 16g rebuild kit work for a big 16g

 

oil feed/drain tight?

 

the PCV is the valve that goes from your valve cover to your intake people commonly put a filter on it.

 

oh i have that conected to my turbo intake pipe. and the turbo has blown seals no doubt about it.... so what should i do? buy a rebuild kit or buy a new turbo?

 

thats going to be your call not ours rebuilding is cheaper a new turbo will be more reliable.

 

would any 16g rebuild work for the big 16g?

 

??

 

Yeah they were tight I'll pos a pic of the leak tomorrow

 

well thats the leak

 

ya man time for a new turbo.

 

Haha yeah I figured... Would any td05 rebuild kit work?

 

you can hit up a mitsubishi specialist and ask. i.e. bushur racing or AMS. that will give you a quick answer. just call them up.

 

Yeah everything on is fine besides the seals

Is this a real big 16g or a knock off?

 

Haha nvm I don't think it is
