JDM 2jzgte stock turbo's?????

[turbulance_cressida]

Quick question guys.. I just bought a jdm 2jzgte motor and today I decided to check the stock turbo's... When I removed the front charge pipe off the turbo in front oil just came rushing out like crazy. There's no oil in the motor now but when I did the compression test numbers Were 175 straight back and spark plugs are dry n clean beside being just dirty.. just looking for a little ideas on what could cause so much oil in turbo's.

Sometimes when storing these motors companies will fill the turbos with oil to prevent them from seizing up and becoming brittle.

Ya same thing happened on my 1j. Just make sure they don't have lots of play.

oh ok these have no shaft play at all... but the wheel are really stiff.

yea they use the oil to "preserve" the turbos sometimes.
