T-78 Blowing oil
Hey guys wondering if you can help me out on this one.
I just installed a greddy T78 kit on my car and when I stay into the boost (15psi) and let off ..coast.. then I give it throttle a HUGE plume of smoke comes out of the exhuast. I know it was oil because one of my friends was following me and he said it got all over his car and it smelled like oil too. I can also see my oil pressure guage rise to the top when boost is coming on.
I have searched for this problem and came to the conclusion that:
1. I hooked up my t-78 Kit wrong and the oil pressure is leaking past the turbo seals and misting into the intake system and causing the smoke, or the oil return line on the turbo is kinked or clogged.
2. Another thing I read was that I should have a restrictor in the oil line and that the 13b-REW produces so much oil pressure that it could leak past the turbo seals. But wouldn't Greddy already think of this and include it into the kit?
Any thoughts on this?
