If you were to calculate flow and compare it to how much flow a 14b receives that is already restricted (which is a journal bearing too btw), you would find you are flowing about 10.33 times more oil with a 4AN line feeding your turbo than a 14b would receive. Do you really think that center section can handle that much oil?
I think PTE has much more knowlege then most of us on this board. They service guy is really nice and why the hell would he tell a customer that has one of their products to do something that is going to fuck up their turbo and make them (pte) look bad? I think not. I guarantee that if he were to buy that exact turbo new from PTE that there would be no issue with any oil leak or smoke anywhere! Im pretty sure PTE is a pretty good turbo given the number of people running them with good numbers to show for with no problem. You get what you pay for with turbos I guess. I have found this out the hard way as well. 4seasons69 I would just ask for your miney back or send it strait to PTE nad they will be very fair with you and dont even go to Diesel components. You might as well send it to the ones that make the dam thing if that makes since at all.

PM me if you have any questions regarding your issue since I went through the exact same thing with my scm61 and delt with the service guy at PTE. Make sure that if you send in your turbo to them that it isnt a mutt turbo with a bunch of random parts thrown together and has ALL PTE parts on it or they may not treat you as nice.
