Default ZPI turbo kit, another one bites the dust

well this is the icing on the cake for me. The dude in Richmond who just got the kit installed is complaining of the same problems as Tuning4life, seems to read no boost, and it's blowing lots of blue smoke.... so much for gettting to race him, he can't even make it to the race!

Well, the problem was my mistake. I cracked my oil pump housing and caused that to fail, that combined with the fact that I took the oil regulator out put wayy too much oil to the turbo and under pressure caused the seals to fail over time.

Mine reads boost fine. It hits 5.8 like it is supposed to. The original problem was the emanage acting up.

What shop did he get it installed at?
