Update, my NEW 50 trim that i ordered from Elite that I got directly shipped from PTE was almost 99% the reason for all my problems. The turbo had a bad seal in it and that is the reason for all the oil exhaust smoke coming from my car. It is also 99% sure that my 7 bolt went on me because i kept driving and the car kept burning off oil, when i went into high rpm's once or twice it spun the #3 rod bearing. keep in mind that this turbo was brand new! only reason why i thought it wasn't the turbo is because it is brand new, me and half the ppl on dsmstyle believed that it just was oil still in the exhaust and it was taking alot of time to burn it off. We used the PTE oil kit for the 50 trim and everything was intstalled to perfection. I drove the car with the turbo in it for about 35 miles, when we first put it in we noticed that the wheel didn't spin smoothly but hard, but of course we didn't think anything of it. After driving 35 miles and taking it off the car the turbo has basically fallen apart and destructed itself, there's in and out shaftplay and the wheel is grinding against the side of the intake inlet, causing aluminum to go into the intake. Talked to Elite and there shipping it out to PTE on tuesday and sending me out a new one which i'm very pleased about. but yeah, i feel that this car is cursed - sorry for any grammar shit, i typed this as fast i could cuz i have't slept in two days. tell me what you think!
