Re: GirlFriends Turbo Blew

What could be wrong with the return??? I think the turbo was bad when I put it on the car because, We started the car let it run for a couple minutes while I did the fuel pressure and just let it warm up. Drove it down my buddies driveway got about 50 ft out of the garage reved it a little it was smoking. gave it a little rev at the bottom of the driveway and it was smoking even worse. Oil out the exhaust pipe. some in the charge pipe but not a whole lot. Ibought the oil feed and return lines from a buddy that ran them on his crx he blew one turbo because he put 8 qts in on accident. I didn't add the oil to lauras car someone else did the put 4.5 quarts in it should take 3.7 and then like 3.8 with oil lines, but I told him to add a little more oil so. The was a couple of variable to why it was junk. It sat for a year shaft might have rusted a little. There is a lot more shaft play now then when I put it on. It just sucks ass.

Alan when you worked at QPR is when I bought it.
