Well good news and bad news my turbo is now blown..

As most of you know the car has always smoked and used oil.. well I hooked up my fcd and turned the boost to 13psi and now after about 20 mins of driving I have no boost.. pull the ic pipe and the comp housing is pooled up with oil..

now what I am hoping is that the turbo has always been blown on the rear bearing causing it to blow oil out the exhaust and not the front while on stock 6psi.. Now at 13psi maybe it caused the front bearing to go and thus oil in the front housing and no boost.

So next is to get another S4 turbo and put it on and see if I got smoke and using oil..

Hopefully I wont have to pull the engine now.

 

Bnr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111!

 

na staying with a cheap replacment so I can run the stock ECU yet..

 

Bearings don't "leak" oil.

I'm gonna have to agree with Ted on this one...lol

 

If you want to be technical fine

The bearings went bad causing the oil to bypass into the turbine and into the compressor housing

I never said the bearing leaked the oil.. I said the bearing went bad causing the shaft play causing the oil to be bypassed into the housing..

I have rebuilt hundreds of turbos I know how they work...

anyways this is not about IF the bearings are bad... the turbo IS bad.. this is just a post about good news possibly and a little advise.
