Re: Turbo Honda: Blown turbo seal ?

The turbo was brand new. Thats why I find this hard to believe! My friend started the car with the downpipe off, I could see wetness forming in the exhuast housing. At first I thought maybe he was seeing excess fuel being blown out, because he has DSM injectors (yes, we put in resistors) that were not adjusted (meaning on his vafc he didnt have anything set.) He told me when he started it, black "oil" was coming out of the turbine exhaust housing. Could this have been excess fuel, combined with dirty soot of being super rich?? This was at idle, on a cold car, so if excess fuel made it past the combustion chamber, the exhaust wouldn't be hot enough to ignite it.

Also, Honda-Tech seems to be filled with COMPLETE morons.
