HELP! 13B Bridge Port Turbo issue
Hi guys
I currently purchased a RX7 Which is a single Turbo / 13 B Bridge ported / Lt10s Ecu , External Fuel pumps, Surge Tanks, Fmic / and all the bells and whistles,
When i purchased the car i was told the turbo had shat it self so i pulled it out and yes it had something went through the turbo from the rear and had damaged the fins, So i decided to chuck a turbo i had sitting in my garage which i was previously going to use on my other car , its a Gt3540 / with a 1.0 A/R
Everything bolted it up and everything seemed fine started the car the turbo spins nice and fast even on idle , couple days later i decided to start the car and found it was pissing out oil from one of the turbo lines, it had metal standard/ modified lines so i thought i will replace them with braided lines, so all that is done had a couple small leaks from the joints i tighten it and that was fine, but now i am seeing some oil on the comp housing of the turbo , the turbo was brand new and i have quiet a few people using the same one with no issues, my only concerns are:
1) since its bright ported its spinning the turbo at very high speed and can cause it to fail?
2) The engine is pumping so much oil pressure that it could have broken a seal? as i am not running a ristrictior
The turbo which was on the car prior was smaller it was a kkk k28
I am getting frustrated now and the more i spend time on it the more i want to drive it off a cliff,
I have also changed the bango bolt with a new one and new fittings , ill post a pic of the engine bay for reference
