Oil is still getting past the new oil seal in the turbo. Maybe the rotor's oil rings are bad or those Japanese just love their high oil pressure...

ill know tomorrow hopefully when i take it in

gotcha and that is the answer to one of my problems. As for the bad lean episodes it all has to do with the tune/timing in the haltech according to my tuner.

Sounds to me like post start enrichment is keeping it running, and when it stops you're leaning out and dying. Have someone competent tube the car
