We had the turbo put on the 6-bolt, it was fine until the car warmed up and then huge amounts of oil and aluminum smoke could be seen. he drove the car 5 miles without spooling past 10 pounds of boost. He took off the turbo and there was a lot of shaftplay going in and out, the wheel was grinding up against the intake inlet(causing the aluminum smoke). the oil was brand new and the oil was contaminated with just aluminum from the wheel grinding, i've looked up tons of info on this and there's no doubt that the turbo was just bad. I'm bringing the turbo to elite tomorrow so they can send it out to PTE to get a new one and the bad turbo looked at.
