4. Did this problem occur directly after installation or was this a problem before hand?

5. Did you drive the car and then this problem occoured or did it occur after installation while idling?

6. Did you install your spring bolts? j/k

Some detailed info will help us help you diagnose the problem a little better

LLLLMMMMMFFAOO..made my day

thank you, thank you. Takes a bow.

So have you actually driven the car yourself yet? Or is this just stuff your friend who installed it is telling you?

Having the compression numbers would be really good right now. Let us know what they are when you find out

dude....gtfo if you have nothing useful to post.

to the op.....we cant do anything until we know the compression numbers.
also, was it just the turbo kit? ie any new injectors etc.
did your buddy prime the oil line before connecting it to the turbo?
please tell me the oil drain line is on the bottom of the turbo and its not clocked wrong.
