basicly at idle im burning oil, there is constant puffs of blue smoke. its not pouring out but its pretty noticeable, additonally my boost pattern is *****, it doest hold any more than 5-8 psi and is quite sporatic. im adding oil every few days...

 

Blue smoke...burning oil. Most likely your shaft seals in your turbo.

 

doesnt turbo city sell a rebuild kit for the OEM twins? about $150 per turbo?

 

the stock twins are essentially non rebuildable, due to lack of factory parts...you can try Rotorsports Racing, apparently they have had decent luck with a rebuilder

 

i can sell u mine! im 30-40 mins from u

 

ok people, im asking if my twin are bad, not try and sell me your old twins. thanks for the offers but if my turbos are bad i may go single. now, do my turbos sound shot.

 

I vote yes

 

Well the one way youd know is to do a compression test. If your compression is bad then its motor making all that smoke and if its good then its the turbos. simple as that.

 

well yea i think the seals are shot....but just because they smoke i dont think turbos are completely gone...the booost prob may b another issue..

 

a motor can easily have bad compression and not smoke... conversely, it could smoke and have good compression.

 

the only other option could be the rotor oil seals, but a compression test wouldnt tell me if thier bad would it? since compression tests test the integrity of the apex seals.

 

right... more likely your turbos

 

guess i do a comp test for ***** and giggles then i guess its time for a 60-1

 

well, many people have successfully rebuild their twins. you just need a good core unit, 300 in parts and some time. you can attempt to keep them in balance with marks or have the rotating assembly re-balanced. the tough part is the turbine oil seal. if the area where it rides is too worn, a new seal will not do much better.

i'm doing this currently with a cherry core unit... not one crack on it and no oil... just a little shaft play
