YAY! My newly replaced turbos are leaking!
I spent most of the day saturday replacing my VERY leaky stock turbos with turbos that were allegedly "good". Well, I noticed that I still had a small oil leak somewhere so when I was getting my cat welded on yesterday I got underneath to try and find the leak. Sure enough, it's leaking from the secondary turbo inlet...damn. Looks like I need to spend some money.

They actually came with the car. I bought the car knowing that the stock turbos were trashed, but with the understanding that the included turbos were good. They are MUCH better than the stock ones, but they still leak a little bit.

I would poke around a little more and see what else you can find. Oil blows all over stuff when there is just a small leak. So clean it all off real good and watch to see where it forms first. I would say look real close at the oil lines as they allways tend to leak. Also look at the OMP. they tend to leak from where the lines hook up.

Glass Man, I know what you mean abou the smoke, before I swapped turbos people would always stare at the car at stoplights because it's pretty. They would then point and look concerned about the smoke pouring out from under the hood....LOL.

Also, it seems as though my plugs have fouled again, which is further indication of oil in the intake. Looks like I need to spend another $30 on plugs.
