trying to solve single turbo smoking issue
Hey guys i know all the reasons why single turbo conversions smoke. And I'm thinking its because of my oil drain but i wanted to post pics up here to see what you guys think.. I checked the oil restrictor.. the one that was on there was a little bigger than it should have been but in any case i bought a new restrictor and it is still smoking pretty bad. Let me know what you guys think from these pics

heres better pics.. the other pic is of my oil feed... when i got my new fitting it didnt have enough depth to thread directly into the turbo like the other fitting did.. so i just threaded the old restrictor fitting into the turbo and the new restrictor on top of it.. could cause also make it smoke or should it not matter?

Run an oil catch can. Here's what I did:
1. Buy a metal coolant resevoir off eBay
2. Buy a 1/4" one way valve, and some vacuum hose
3. Attach 3/8" hose from crankcase nipple to the bottom of the resevoir
4. Attach vacuum line to top nipple of resevoir and attach other end to vacuum source
5. Attach inline one way valve so there is only vacuum in the resevoir (this is not needed if you attach the vacuum line to the turbo intake piping)
the way I understand is the oil catch tank/resevoir is in vacuum helping to "pull" the oil from the return. As soon as I did this my smoking stopped.
