I rebuild the turbo last winter. Started the motor about 2 months ago put about 500 miles on the car so far never any issues from the turbo. Spooled good had no movement in the wheel.

Today I started it up and started pouring smoke after about 15 sec. Knew right away what it was took the turbo off and hot side is filled with oil.

It's plumbed with the softline kit I think a 3an feed and 10 an return.

I'm think I might have too much oil pressure at start up for the turbo I'm getting almost 70 psi at start up.. Goes down to normal in few mins

Ang other ideas? It was a eBay rebuild kit I'm gunna try the Driftmotion on this time
