You are one silly man.

You need to be sterilized. I can't believe you did this. The proper way would have been to pull the turbo off the manifold and look for oil tracking. If not there look in your downpipe. People like you destroy other peoples cars a pollute the forums that will destroy someone that "believes" in your "brilliant ideas." I hope no one else tried this! This thread should be closed and a disclaimer posted at the top...

Dude, calm down. There is no "proper way", some people can not pull there turbos off of their manifolds and for others it it a whole lot of hassle. How would I destroy other peoples cars? I haven't even destroyed my own. Could you please explain how this idea will "destroy someone"? To me this seems like a common sense solution to a common problem. It would help if you could explain more throughly before making such a harsh statement.

By posting the thread someone could follow in your footsteps. You could have at least updated the thread with pictures of what happened to your turbo...

I did make a thread like that.... and I didn't kill the bearings because of that, I killed them after I discovered that it was the turbo making smoke, and restricted the oil too much.

I find it funny that you stated in your other thread that you had the turbo upside down and that the oil feed was on the bottom side and that you had the oil return on the top side, lol!

That helps the hot oil drain out better

hey, I don't think I deserve all this hostility... I think I do pretty well, I've got a "nicely" built car on a *very* low budget... I mean really, my whole build including the cost of the car cost me less than some of you guys front mounts. And you're right, I do need to study more, I have an exam in the morning.

**** mang this ain't hostility, this is me one step away from turning into
El Chupa cabras and stealing Cellos goats

I will PM you a message to explain a few things, not in a mean fashion but more of a mentoring/instructing fashion.

How about a video of it in action! I kinda find it hard to believe the zip ties are holding down the ratchet.
