Will my fricken' luck ever change?

Swifty, you should do whatever the manufacture of the turbo says; they usually have their certain specs for a reason. Just because others say they can run with or without something doesn't mean it will work on your setup. You might have higher oil pressure than normal, who knows. It's not worth killing another turbo.

Are you buying a new turbo or getting yours rebuilt?

:lol:

But yeah, it's been probably thousands of miles overall on that turbo.



You talking to me? I was at our Grand Re-Opening event, good times. And I need Shane to get me in to tune the E85/E70. But hoping for at least a few road course events this year at least.

Heh yea! I posted that before you told me about said event ;) thousands eh? hehe I have about 3000 miles on my BBK in the past 2 months :D

+1, and if it still blows then warranty that biotch.

PTE sells the thread in oil feed restrictor, just but that it has to be cheep. I have the stuff to make a by pass plug here at the house, now that I saw one at work. You can change/shim your springs with the head on the car, you just need a good air compressor and a little time.

I need that done john..but I want this revving thing fricken fixed! I'm tired of guessing/checking lol.

I dropped the turbo off at MAP for bob to fix, along with a new coat of chrome for the manifold. I was thinking restrictor, but I dunno. Oil PSI is like 50 at idle, and 75 driving. I think it needs a restrictor. I may jsut skip that filter though, and run some kinda restrictor. I can't figure it out yet. I get mixed answers from EVERYONE!

Something like this that threads into the turbo.

My problem, is what if I starv the turbo too much? Would that also do the same damn thing? Should I change my oil back to 10w30? I dunno what to do.

Call PTE and ask what they'd suggest.

That's what I'm getting. That looks awesome, but wow that hole is tiny! I suppose you don't need much though.

I did, and I got a run-around. Then, he suggested I run a BB turbo setup, since I got no balance shafts. Frankly, I'm sick of dealing with them at all, hence why I didn't ship the turbo to them to get rebuilt. I'll prolly save my pennies and do an HTA setup over winter in a t3 setup. ARG!

I'd consider keeping your t4 manifold and downpipe and running a .68 open t4 exhaust housing. Alot of people are making sick power on standered 35Rs on the .68 open, its not mutch bigger then a .82 t3.
